About Ashley
Counsellor registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom, with three years of professional experience. Ashley O'Leary focuses on addictions, grief and loss, and parenting concerns, alongside anxiety, stress, mood difficulties and relationship challenges. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope and make practical changes.
Ashley keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to what is worrying you, clarifies priorities, and works with you to agree steps to try between meetings. Conversations cover your current difficulties, what has helped in the past, and small strategies you can use day to day.
For someone facing grief or loss, she offers ways to manage difficult emotions and the practical effects of bereavement. When the issue is addiction, the focus is on understanding triggers and building routines that reduce risk. For parenting concerns the work looks at stress, boundaries and communication within daily family life.
She aims to make plans that fit into everyday schedules. Sessions can involve reflection, practical problem-solving and simple behavioural tasks to test what works. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.
Ashley works in English. People beginning with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
She describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which focus on practical strategies and measurable steps. For grief and loss this might mean structured conversations about coping strategies, routines that help manage daily life, and checking how these strategies feel over time. For addictions the approach emphasises identifying triggers, planning alternative responses and building practical routines to reduce risk.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will assess your needs, discuss different techniques, and agree a way forward that fits your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process with regular reviews to see what is helpful and what to change.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of remote work typically include easier scheduling around home or work commitments and fewer travel requirements. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce time away from daily responsibilities, helping people fit therapy into a busy life.
