How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Ashleigh draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and routines. CBT sessions often break problems into small steps and offer practical exercises to try between meetings, which suits worries about habits, sleep or eating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions; it focuses on values and small behavioural choices that move life forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashleigh will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. That means therapy feels collaborative and adjustments can be made if something does not feel helpful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer, which can help focus on thinking and everyday habit work without rearranging the whole day.
