Step towards the life you want with St Ives Therapy
A warm welcome and a space to explore how you are feeling, at a pace that respects your unique experiences.
A supportive conversation can create room for understanding, choice and personal growth.
A calm, non-judgemental space
Taking that first step towards finding a therapist can feel significant. The original St Ives Therapy website introduced Ange Ashton as a humanistic integrative counsellor, working relationally and with care for each individual’s experience.
Together, counselling offers space to explore what is happening today, reflect on patterns from the past and move towards your own sense of wellbeing.

A supportive relationship is central; an initial conversation can help you decide whether the approach feels right for you.
