Meet Ashley Phillips

(she/her/hers)

Ashley is a Canadian Certified Counsellor and holds a Masters in Counselling. She works with adults navigating PTSD, anxiety, phobias, and other trauma related conditions. In particular, Ashley has a focus on supporting those struggling with birth trauma, binge and emotional eating, and low self-esteem. She also holds a personal interest in supporting fellow adults through the unique challenges of ADHD.

Ashley founded the Kelowna EMDR Clinic, being drawn to the effectiveness of EMDR and recognizing a lack of trauma-focused clinical space here. Through her work with the clinic, Ashley offers high-quality EMDR therapy with a team equally committed to lasting, trauma-informed healing. 

​

With a focus on treating trauma at its core, Ashley's specializations include helping clients process recent traumatic events (within six months to one year). While that covers a range of situations from accidents to other impactful traumas, she holds a special focus on traumatic births, labour, and perinatal death.

Single traumatic events can be resolved using EMDR in half-day and full-day intensive sessions as part of a treatment plan. For Ashley, it's an immense privilege to witness the profound relief clients experience through the work you do together.​

​

When not in the counselling office, you'll find Ashley taking advantage of all that is the Okanagan: backcountry camping, skiing, hiking, triathlons (or attempting them!), yoga, farmers' markets, wineries, and making meals from our local goods.
