About Martha Ash

Martha Ash welcomes people who are seeking deeper self-understanding, whether that involves untangling anxiety, working through relationship patterns, making sense of past experiences, or learning how to be more fully themselves. She creates a warm, grounded therapeutic environment where difficult material is met with openness and nothing a person brings is treated as "too much."

Her practice is informed by client-centered therapy, which places the therapeutic relationship - honesty, empathy, and genuine human connection - at the center of change. Rather than offering quick fixes, she accompanies clients with curiosity and compassion while supporting exploration at a pace that feels right for each individual.

Martha also integrates practical tools when appropriate, drawing on psychological theory, cognitive-behavioural techniques, somatic awareness, and broader holistic models of wellbeing to help clients develop coping strategies and practical steps forward. She sees therapy as both a place of safety and a space for transformation.

She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is clear about what she can offer. While the therapeutic relationship needs to feel like a good fit, Martha is willing to walk alongside people who choose to work with her and to support them in finding the connection that best meets their needs.
