Ashley Moore

I have spent most of my life in sport as an international competitor and coach and have always been fascinated with the mind and it’s ability to both help and hinder us in all our endeavours. This has inspired me to learn, study and retrain as a therapist and has taken me on a journey of personal discovery and given me a passion to understand and help others in the many ways we all struggle with and can respond to the circumstances we encounter in our lives.

I know from my own personal experiences just how difficult it is when you are suffering to reach out for support. So well done, you have already taken the first step by being here looking for help therefore believing that things can change.

I draw on my qualifications and experience in Psychology, Psychodynamic Therapy, Person Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as my life experience to provide a comprehensive toolkit tailored to best serve you as a clients.

I continue to learn and undertake continuous professional development to stay up to date with current best practice.

Just by talking and being really heard you will start to recognise how past experiences are still being carried emotionally and that these can be resolved by understanding and letting go of unconscious controls. How we think and talk and react is rooted in our unconscious. This is because it has been forming over years of conditioning since birth. This conditioning shapes patterns and beliefs that can influence how we feel and behave and this then drives our emotional reactions and subsequent coping and defence mechanisms, thoughts, behaviour and actions.

It is important to take a step back, observe and process those thoughts and emotions to better understand ourselves, this self-awareness enables us to choose our responses to life’s challenges. Knowing ourselves and understanding that with help and practice we can take ownership of our thoughts gives us the power and control to make choices we didn’t know we had and to free our emotions to allow us to live the best life we can.

You can contact me by phone on 07897 014142 for an initial no obligation chat after which we can decide if we would like to work together.

I look forward to hearing from you.
