Counselling, shaped around you
You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need.
That is what the assessment and matching process is for. We consider your needs, preferences, availability and the therapeutic approach that may support you best.

Face-to-face counselling

How it works
A considered route into therapy.
Our role is not simply to give you a list of names. We help you find a starting point that feels manageable and appropriate.
Initial assessment
A free initial assessment gives us space to understand what brings you to counselling and what you may need.
Thoughtful matching
We consider therapeutic needs, approach, experience, availability and preferences that matter to you.
Your counsellor
We introduce you to an appropriate counsellor and support the transition into regular therapy.
Weekly counselling
Your counsellor agrees a regular session time with you and the therapeutic work begins.
Why The Ash
Affordable counselling should still feel thoughtful, professional and deeply human.
The Ash was created around the belief that access and quality should not sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Care with depth, structure and warmth.
Thoughtful matching
We consider more than availability. Matching is part of the clinical journey.
Professionally supported
Our trainee counsellors work with regular supervision and within professional ethical frameworks.
Inclusive by design
We aim to provide culturally responsive, respectful support for different identities and experiences.
Accessible pricing
Different pathways allow more people to access meaningful therapeutic support.
Therapeutic approaches
Different ways of making sense of what you are experiencing.
We work across several approaches and use your assessment to help consider what may be most suitable.

“My counselor is lovely and I look forward to continuing to work with her and hope to continue even after she’s finished…”
“I had a great experience with the service: the assessment was free and the therapist contacted me a couple of days after and we started therapy the same week. He was supportive and listening to me and very empathetic. Totally recommend this service!”
“This agency is fantastic in their support and guidance for counselling trainees. The supervision given is well rounded and the connection to other peers is a great bonus. I would highly recommend this agency.”
