He has experience working with adults across the lifespan, from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and LGBTQI+, trans-identifying and gender diverse peoples. It is through this range of experience that Ashley appreciates the importance of understanding and learning from clients’ lived experiences to provide the highest quality of care.

He also has experience in clinical research, having published papers on gambling disorder and comorbid social anxiety and substance use in peer-reviewed journals. The thesis for his master's degree of clinical psychology involved the development of a group therapy program for comorbid social anxiety and substance use.
