About Ashley

Ashley O'Leary is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addiction, grief, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar.

She aims to offer respectful, sensitive support and practical help in the moment. Her sessions are adapted to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

She listens to your story and works with you to shape a plan that fits your life. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match your comfort level. Ashley has spent time supporting people through bereavement and loss and helping those who are coping with addictive behaviours.

She also supports people facing relationship strain, anger, trauma and abuse, and the pressures of work and career change. These areas guide the kinds of topics she brings into sessions. In practical terms she offers a range of online formats so people can pick what suits them best.

Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging depending on the situation. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Ashley aims to make the first steps straightforward. She will work with you to set goals and check progress as you go, adjusting the approach when needed.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional support. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviour and then practise small, doable changes to feel better day to day. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Another approach she applies concentrates on working through grief and loss by gently naming emotions and finding ways to remember and adjust after a loss. This method aims to make grief more manageable while keeping day-to-day functioning in view.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and agree the methods that best match your goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as you progress so the work stays relevant to your needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone calls are useful if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written support while fitting around work or family commitments.
