Dr Casey Ashby

 

I feel it is a privilege to work with people during their time of need, and I'm continually amazed at how they overcome their difficulties. I understand choosing a psychologist is difficult- how do you pick someone to share your innermost thoughts and feelings with? I aspire to be a warm, supportive and responsive therapist who adjusts therapeutic approaches to each person's specific needs and issues.

 

As a parent to three children, I also understand how worrying it can be to chose a therapist for your child. I pride myself on my ability to build rapport with children of all ages. I have a range of age appropriate methods that i use to work with children, including play based therapies for younger children.
