Ashton

Ms Ashton Robertson

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a clinical psychologist working with adolescents, adults and couples. I am also qualified in Equine-Assisted psychotherapy.”

About Me

I guide adolescents, adults, and couples through life's complexities. For those seeking an alternative, I offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Here, the intuitive presence of horses helps you process emotions and build connection. This unique, grounded approach is especially valuable if you find verbal expression challenging. It fosters profound self-awareness, helping you find new ways forward.

Approach

Working alongside teenagers, adults and partners, sessions blend grounded, experiential moments with thoughtful reflection to help you notice patterns in real time. In Sandton I offer face-to-face appointments and secure online sessions in English; pacing is collaborative and adaptable to your comfort, with practical strategies and occasional guided processes between meetings to consolidate insights. You’ll leave sessions with clear, manageable steps and a growing sense of agency—people seeking deeper self-understanding and steadier relationships often find this approach useful.
