Ashleigh Wells is a Master’s student in Counselling Psychology at TWU, with a growing specialization in equine-assisted and nature-based counselling approaches. She is passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. Ashleigh’s approach is guided by curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for the unique factors that shape each person’s story.

From an early age, Ashleigh felt a deep connection to animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She spent several years working in a veterinary practice, where she developed a strong understanding of the complexity of caring not only for animals, but also for the humans who love them. During this time, she became increasingly aware of the unique mental health challenges faced by veterinary professionals. This awareness became a driving force in her decision to return to school and pursue counselling. While Ashleigh ultimately chose a different path than veterinary medicine, her experiences continue to shape her work and are central to her developing clinical focus, including her thesis research topic exploring access to mental health supports for veterinary professionals.
