Living Your Best Life

Hi, I’m Lee Ash, welcome to this site.  I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Therapist covering Plymouth, and surrounding areas.  I set up Endeavour Personal Development in 2007.

 

I have 21 years of experience providing counselling and therapy. I believe in working with clients to understand their concerns in a friendly and non-judgemental manner. My experience has been gained working in the NHS as well as the private, charitable, and voluntary sectors. I have worked with young people through to adults, many of these with complex behavioural needs due to trauma, attachment disorders, adult mental health, substance abuse, domestic abuse, PTSD, eating disorders, self-harm, personality disorders, gender identity, men’s mental health, homelessness, abuse and neglect.

 

Through my therapeutic work, I have a vast knowledge of working with complex trauma, adult and child attachment problems and other difficult emotional and behavioural problems. I have counselled clients and run therapeutic and psychosocial group work sessions.

​

I also have been working as a counsellor in private practice for 17 years. I have specialised in trauma, addictions, personality disorders and anxiety-related conditions. My passion in the last few years is trying to get more men and young men to engage in therapy. I have specialist knowledge working with women but experienced men struggling to seek and participate in therapy.

​

I provide a male friendly approach to my male counselling and therapy clients.

 

I offer a combined approach to therapy, working face to face, (or online such as Zoom). I ran therapeutic groups and provided one to one counselling sessions throughout the COVID 19 pandemic online.

 

My personal journey has allowed knowledge, wisdom, kindness with a sense of humour to influence my approach as a therapist.
