Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy
Ash James MBACP, ADV. DIP. PSYCH.
​
Deciding to reach out for support is a significant step and SONDER THERAPIES was created with that in
mind. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to walk alongside you,
you’re not alone.
For much of my life, anxiety was an undercurrent I didn’t have a name for - I thought I was different to
those around me and this “thing” was just part of who I was. Episodes of depression and struggles to
process events from my younger years shaped patterns that followed me into adulthood. It wasn’t until
my late twenties that I began to understand what I was experiencing and started to meet other people
who expressed feeling similarly. Then, in the space of six months during a global pandemic, my father
passed away, I was made redundant, went through a difficult breakup, and was asked to move out of my
rented apartment. This period of time forced me to confront everything I had been carrying, and in
seeking help, I began a deep journey of self-work. Walking that path led me to study psychotherapy, not
just to continue my own healing, but to learn how help others navigate their own struggles too.
I now work with individuals and couples navigating a range of challenges, including ADHD, borderline
personality disorder (BPD), anxiety, depression, stress, grief & loss, addiction, and suicidal ideation.
My work often involves exploring the patterns and emotions that sit beneath these experiences, helping
clients to understand themselves more fully. I also support couples in strengthening communication,
rebuilding understanding, and deepening their connection.
Using an integrative approach to counselling, I am here to gently guide and support you as you uncover
your own insights, build self-awareness, and recognise your inner strengths. Together, we can work to
address the challenges that have been holding you back, helping you make meaningful changes and live
a life that feels true to your potential.
Thank you for considering SONDER THERAPIES as a part of your healing journey. I look forward to walking
alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.

With warmth and gratitude,
Ash
