Hello & Welcome!
Good to have you here. If you're a man in your 20s, 30s or 40s and something's felt off lately, you're not imagining it. You probably can't name exactly what's wrong. You just know life's started to feel a lot like hard work.
You're probably still showing up. Still working hard, still getting things done. But maybe people have started commenting that you look tired, or seem stressed, or you've noticed you're more in your head than you used to be. I hear this all the time from men. They just want more from life. They're fed up of the struggle, but they don't know where to start.
This isn't about having a diagnosis or a big trauma to unpack. It doesn't matter if you're neurodivergent or neurotypical either. Sometimes it's simply about having time with someone who has no agenda and doesn't need anything from you, so you can work out what's actually going on and do something about it. That's what therapy, counselling and life coaching did for me. It took a few wrong turns to find the right support, but it helped me transform how I was living and find real fun, freedom and fulfilment. I offer the same to other men now. Remote over WhatsApp video. In person around Dorset, Poole and Bournemouth. Or walk and talk out in nature. And so can you.
I'm Ashley, an Accredited Counsellor and Transformational Coach.
I bring these two approaches together to help men stop circling the same unhelpful patterns and start building a life they actually love. This isn't traditional therapy and it isn't coaching in the way most people think of it. It's something that sits between the two, maintaining the depth and safety of therapy while adding the drive and momentum that coaching brings.
No hacks. No 10x mantras. No gimmicks.
Just a genuine partnership where we work with your thinking, unpack what's really going on, and get to what you actually want from life.
I'm accredited with the NCPS, which means you're in safe, professionally qualified hands. But more than any credential, what matters to me is whether I can genuinely help you move forward. That's why I ask everyone to start with a short enquiry form, or a free connection call if you're not sure yet. No selling, just a chance to see if we're a good fit
How We Can Work Together
For most of my clients we meet online, which means there's no commute, no waiting rooms, and no unnecessary barriers between you and feeling better. Counselling & Coaching that fits your schedule.
For those local to Dorset, I offer Outdoor 'Walk and Talk' sessions in Bere Regis, Wareham (only 20 minutes from Poole, Blandford & Dorchester), a chance to move and work with nature, take a break in a busy week, and gain new perspective out in the seasons and elements.
If you'd rather meet face to face indoors, I offer in-person sessions in Parkstone, Poole, an easy trip if you're coming from Bournemouth or Poole, close to the train station with free parking right outside.
The most popular way men work with me is through something I call the Live Full Partnership (simply put, working together to live a life full of fun, freedom and fulfilment). We meet regularly, at a time and place that becomes familiar, so we can build the momentum to create a life you love.
If any of this sounds like you, it's a good place to start:
-
Reducing stress

Confidence and self esteem

Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout

The Investment
I know that investing in good counselling or coaching can feel like a big commitment, and it is, not only a big financial commitment but a big energy and time commitment.
After years of work I have curated two options that best serve the men I work with:
The Live Full Partnership: This is a block of six sessions, paid upfront, with your own consistent weekly slot held for two months. An investment into lasting change and the men who get the most from this work are the ones who show up for themselves. This is the option I'd recommend if you're ready to properly invest in yourself.
£98 per session. £588 Investment.
Single Session: I also keep a handful of Pay As You Go sessions to hand each month, for anyone who wants to experience the work before committing to a block, or is returning for a one-off session to address a particular topic. Availability is limited, so get in touch to check what's open. £118 Investment.
What People Say
"I didn't realise how stuck I was until I wasn't anymore. Ashley has a way of helping you see what you couldn't see on your own, and he does it without making you feel like a project."
"I came in thinking I needed to manage my stress better. What I actually needed was to completely change how I was looking at my life. Ashley helped me do that."
"Straight talking, genuinely compassionate, and one of the most insightful people I've worked with. I achieve more in one session with Ashley than I did in months with other coaches."
"The sessions gave me clarity on the decisions I'd made and put into perspective what was really important to me. I'm in a much happier place and have a better mindset to deal with whatever comes my way."
"Ashley gently entered my inner world from our very first session. Each session feels like a victory. My journey has simply been one of healing and building towards prosperity."
