Hiya, I’m Ansley (she/her), a person-centred therapist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My practice began in 2020 when I started working as a mentor for university students back in the States. Soon thereafter, I realised my passion for standing alongside those experiencing difficulties with their mental health. After spending three years in the nonprofit sector, I decided to move to the UK and began my professional training as a therapist. I’ve since worked at a local counselling agency to provide individual counselling to anyone over the age of 18 as well as Edinburgh City Council to provide counselling to secondary students across the city. I have extensive experience working with individuals who've experienced grief, clinical depression/anxiety, childhood trauma, and relationship difficulties.

As your counsellor, I’d hope to create an empathic and inclusive space where we can explore your unique experiences from your own perspective. I will encourage you to be open and genuine with me throughout our work together so that you feel safe enough to explore every aspect of your life. It is my sincere hope that you would feel seen and heard throughout the counselling process.

If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call as a chance to ask any questions and gauge whether we might be a good fit to work together.

Qualifications:

MSc in Counselling, University of Edinburgh

To support my practice, I have regular supervision and attend workshops throughout the year.
