Hi, I'm Ashleigh!
As a Play and Creative Arts Therapist and Supervisor, I am dedicated to supporting personal and professional growth. I believe everyone deserves the chance to understand themselves and reach their fullest potential.
My journey into personal and professional growth led me to become a therapist and supervisor. Through these roles, I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative it can be when individuals connect with their inner resources. I strive to create a safe space for exploration and empowerment, helping others overcome obstacles, whether in personal or professional aspects of their lives.
I advocate for the broader systems surrounding children, including therapeutic interventions and parental support, and I value a personalised approach—not every key fits the same lock.
Although I take my work seriously, I believe it’s important to incorporate an element of fun whenever possible. After all, there is no darkness without light. You can often find me singing, dancing, putting on accents, or even covered in glitter while working with my clients.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy music, cooking, baking, and traveling to new places.
