Owen Ashley

I offer counselling sessions Monday through Friday.

Morning ones are usually at 7.45am and one day per week, all morning.

Early evening sessions are usually 5.15pm and 6.30pm.

I have 33 years experience as a Counsellor & Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples presenting with a wide range of issues. 

I am BACP Senior Accredited and offer a confidential, friendly and non-judgemental approach, relating warmly to a diverse scope of people. I am an Integrative Counsellor with a Person-Centred ethos and have trained in Psychodynamic & CBT approaches. 

Additionally, I teach Counselling at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, having obtained a PhD in Counselling. 

For many years, I ran Stress Management and Assertiveness training courses for the NHS; my Master's degree research was related to stress and anxiety management. 

I have been a Supervisor of other Counsellors, for individuals and groups, for over 25 years and worked with a wide range of therapists - trainee counsellors to experienced therapists - who practice a variety of modalities such as Integrative, Person-centred, CBT and Psychodynamic.  I have been an accredited Supervisor since 2000.   

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

I have a professional, approachable and friendly manner and work with clients on a short, medium or long-term basis, according to their needs and requirements.  

Offering Counselling via face to face, telephone and waIking therapy, I see clients in my pleasant and sizeable Counselling Room, at the front of my home (bungalow) and live by a lake and woodlands.  

Standard sessions are 50 minutes long.  However, longer sessions are available as required. 

The first session can be flexible: straight into an assessement session or alternatively (upon request), a free pre-counselling half session to meet (in person or via phone) and discuss possible next steps, with no obligation to proceed.
