What sets my counselling and therapy practice apart is my unique combination of professional football experience, a Bachelor's degree with honours in psychology and counselling, accreditation with the British Psychological Society (BPS), and a remarkable life journey that has equipped me with firsthand experience in overcoming struggles and adversity.

I’ve had one session with Ashan so far and it was extremely helpful. Not only did I feel 100% listened to, ashan was able to make me feel understanded through his own struggles and how he has overcame them. I’m excited for more sessions with him. I cannot recommend him enough! More...

Well what can I say about Emancipate, Ash helped me with many different aspects of my life and what I was currently going through. His level headed approach to the issues I was having was amazing exactly what i needed. To be able to look at a problem from a completely different prospective was the thought process I needed. Can’t wait for more sessions. Life changing. More...

Ashan is a warm hearted welcoming person. I went for some life coaching with a view to improving my sporting skills. The techniques he gave me to help me concentrate have helped greatly

Relationship and Marriage Counselling
We went to Ash at Emancipate for couples counselling. This arena is very new to me and I did feel a little anxious about the first meeting.
I must say it was amazing as Ashen put us both at ease and the fact that he is so in tune with the female issues of menopause, gave me confidence in opening up and speaking candidly about my issues and how I felt about what was going on in our marriage of 40+ years.
I would thoroughly recommend Emancipate for couple counseling because what you get out of these sessions far outweighs the cost of the sessions. It's an investment worth pursuing if you want to get back on track from a stagnating relationship that eventually festers bitterness and resentment unknowingly towards the one person that matters the most in your life... your life partner.
Looking forward to our journey to a better, more fulfiling and richer relationship in our marriage with Ash's help.
Thank you Ashen and bless you.

Myles
Ash was very patient with me and listened to all I had to say. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and I felt I was speaking to someone I had known for years in just the first session! He provided very beneficial insight to my concerns and I left the appointment feeling significantly better. I look forward to continuing therapy with him. More...

I’ve learned so much about myself since working with Emancipate. I have real life coping mechanisms to enable me to live a more mentally free life.
The care and attention is amazing and the service is not ‘one size fits all’, which really helps to feel safe to truly be open.

I had reached a point in my life where I felt like I was drifting and needed some guidance. Having never seen a life coach before, I was apprehensive about my first meeting with Ashan. However, his friendly, professional manner put me at ease straight away. He worked with me to identify what I wanted to change in my life, offering support and guidance that I have found to be incredibly helpful me focus on what I need to do, boosting my confidence and overall has just helped to better my life! I would have no hesitation recommending Ashan to anyone. More...

Title: Life-changing Experience at Emancipate
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Emancipate.
The counseling I received here has truly turned my life around. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt a sense of warmth and acceptance that was truly comforting. Ashan is not only a highly skilled professional, but he also radiates genuine compassion and empathy.
The counseling sessions were tailored to my specific needs, providing a safe space for me to express myself without judgment. Ashan has a unique ability to listen and offer guidance that feels both insightful and practical. He provided me with invaluable tools to navigate challenges and make positive changes in my life.
What sets Emancipate apart is their holistic approach to counselling . They consider not only the emotional and psychological aspects, but also the physical and spiritual well-being of their clients. This comprehensive approach helped me address underlying issues that I may not have even been aware of.
I am grateful for the transformative experience I've had at Emancipate. It's not an exaggeration to say that it has changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking genuine, effective, and compassionate counselling.

What do you love most about your job?
Having the power to help others through their struggles and that special moment when they realise that they will be ok! Having that profound impact we make on people's lives. Witnessing the transformation and growth of my clients as they break free from mental and emotional constraints and find their inner strength brings me immense fulfilment. My ability to empathise and relate to their struggles allows me to connect with them on a deep level. Knowing that i play a pivotal role in helping individuals overcome challenges and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery is what fuels my passion for my work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me most to start 'Emancipate' was the realisation that life's most profound wisdom often emerges from personal experiences. My journey through the highs and lows of a professional football career, facing financial struggles, battling through court battles for my child, and overcoming personal demons, including depression and addiction, has been an invaluable teacher. It was these very experiences that illuminated the path I was meant to follow.
The powerful quote by Marcus Garvey, 'emancipate yourself from mental slavery,' struck a chord deep within me. It encapsulated the essence of my own transformation and the liberation I found in understanding and healing my mind. I wanted to share this empowerment with others, to guide them toward their own mental and emotional freedom.
I am deeply committed to using my unique blend of professional expertise, personal insight, and psychological knowledge to help individuals break free from the shackles of their own minds and discover their inner strength. 'Emancipate' is not just a name; it's a philosophy, a calling, and a journey. It embodies my passion to empower others to take control of their mental well-being and create a life filled with resilience, joy, and purpose."
