Our Approach
Flowerarch Therapy practice was founded to empower clients to become their own therapists rather than needing to consistently seek therapy throughout their life.
As the only counsellor currently working in the practice, Ashleigh specialises in attachment based framework. This essentially means that from the first contact and throughout the counselling process, Ashleigh will create a safe and nurturing environment to pursue trust and build an effective therapeutic relationship, overall developing positive outcomes for therapy.
As we offer Telehealth, Walk and Talk and Face to Face sessions, clients are provided with a variety of services to suit their needs and preferences. Therefore, clients are able to decide what suits them in order to build an effective relationship and reach their therapeutic goals.
My Story
Ashleigh is the founder and Director of Flowerarch Therapy. She is a passionate mental health advocate and dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating mental health challenges. With a background in nursing, Ashleigh realized early on that her true calling was in the mental health field, where she could make a deeper, more personal impact.
Inspired by her own experiences growing up, specifically with her younger sister who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at the age of 9, Ashleigh recognised the critical gaps in support and advocacy for those with neurodevelopment conditions. This experience ignited a desire to advocate for better mental health awareness, support, and early intervention for children and families.
In addition to supporting her sister through the challenges of ASD, Ashleigh played a pivotal role in helping both her younger sisters navigate significant trauma, including the complexities experienced in the Australian family court system. During this time, she witnessed firsthand the need for accessible mental health professionals to provide emotional support in such high-stress situations, and witnessed the lack of adequate resources for families in crisis.
As a mother, Ashleigh has faced her own mental health challenges, particularly dealing with overwhelming anxiety during pregnancy and the fears of becoming a new mother. This personal journey deepened her empathy for other parents and individuals facing similar anxieties and pressures, strengthening her commitment to helping others manage the complex emotions that come with major life transitions.
Drawing from these diverse experiences, Ashleigh now leads Flowerarch Therapy using her knowledge, compassion, and experience to provide support and guidance to clients facing their own struggles. Whether it's assisting families dealing with trauma, supporting children with ASD, or offering resources for new parents managing anxiety, Ashleigh is dedicated to making a meaningful difference and impact in the lives of those who need it most.
