Ashleigh Duncan Counsellor MBACP
As an integrated therapist, I incorporate various counseling approaches, including Person-Centered Counseling, Solution-Focused Therapy,, and Psychodynamic Therapy, into my sessions. My trauma-informed somatic approach holds space for both your story and your nervous system, allowing for comprehensive healing. By blending these theories with unique framework, I aim to facilitate self-acceptance and promote a stronger sense of self while the issues you present. I tailor my approach to suit each individual's personality, ensuring that the therapy aligns with you rather than expecting you to the therapy.
