Ashleigh James Therapy

A Trauma-informed counselling service in Cornwall and online across the UK. Supporting your mental health journey with compassion, care, and clarity.

Therapy your way:

Therapy should feel accessible, flexible and supportive to your needs. Here you can explore the different ways you can access support.

Face to Face

Located in a small village between Newquay and Wadebridge, our practice offers face-to-face sessions, providing a serene and private setting for your counselling experience. The benefits of this include:

Ideal for clients who prefer face-to-face interaction for a more personal experience.

In-person sessions to build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship.

A safe, welcoming environment for deeper emotional connection and healing.

Walk and Talk

Set in the beautiful countryside and coastline between Newquay and Wadebridge, Walk and Talk therapy offers counselling in nature rather than a traditional therapy room. Many clients find that gentle movement and fresh air help conversations to feel more natural and less intense, supporting emotional release and calm.

This approach may be helpful if you:

Feel more relaxed outdoors than in a therapy room
Experience anxiety, overwhelm, or stress and benefit from movement
Prefer a less formal, side-by-side way of talking.

Online therapy

We offer online therapy through a range of online platforms. providing flexible and accessible support tailored to your needs, wherever you are. The benefits of this are:

A safe and confidential online space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions.

Virtual sessions via video or phone, offering the flexibility to attend therapy from anywhere.

Convenient for those with mobility issues, busy schedules, or who live outside the local area.

Over the phone

For those who prefer not to have face-to-face sessions or live further away, we also offer therapy over the phone. The benefits of this include:

Allows the feeling of anonymity, if you are anxious.

Convenient, flexible support for those who prefer to talk from the comfort of their home.

Ideal for clients who have busy schedules or prefer a more private space.

Focused, supportive sessions that prioritise your needs and comfort.

I am currently completing a Master’s degree in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy, which informs my work with intimacy difficulties, sexual trauma, sexual anxiety, low desire, painful sex, and the emotional impact these experiences can have on self-worth and relationships.
