Venus Ashford: UK-Certified Relationship Therapist and Clinical Sexologist
Biography
Born to Egyptian parents and raised in the UK, Venus grew up immersed in a household that embodied the essence of transformation—a truly Scorpionic environment. Her father, an esteemed Psychiatrist Consultant and Professor, instilled a deep curiosity in topics like mental health, metaphysics, religion, politics, and the supernatural. From an early age, Venus was captivated by human connection: what strengthens relationships, what fractures them, and how transformation, despite its challenges, is the key to growth. She learned firsthand that stagnancy in relationships has profound consequences on mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Venus' passion for understanding transformation led her to the works of Carl Gustav Jung, particularly his model of Alchemy. She realized this symbolic process, present in all human experiences, is often misunderstood, leading to neurosis and other mental health conditions. With greater self-awareness, however, individuals can not only overcome crises and trauma but also catalyze these moments into profound, life-changing growth.
As a UK-certified Relationship Therapist and Clinical Sexologist, Venus blends clinical expertise with her love of metaphysics and astrology. She believes that to truly understand relationships—or any aspect of life—one must study nature’s rhythms and uncover the barriers that obstruct organic growth. Her work is deeply inspired by Rumi’s words: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
