counselling near brechin, montrose, forfar and arbroath

Hello, I’m Ashley

I've journeyed through life like many of you, experiencing the ebbs and flows of relationships. Whether they're with family, friends, or partners, these relationships weave into the fabric of our lives, shaping who we are, how we feel, and how we interact with the world.

After personally feeling the transformational power of therapy, I was inspired to retrain as a Therapist. Today, I'm here to offer that same opportunity for change and growth to you.

I create a safe, welcoming space for adults and couples, whether you need a quick chat to navigate a tough situation or an ongoing conversation to dig a little deeper into the roots of your feelings. My mission is to help you feel not just better, but empowered—ready to embrace life's rollercoaster with resilience and self-confidence.

Perhaps you're facing a specific hurdle, like a hiccup at work or a glitch in your relationship. In that case, we could explore counseling—a shorter journey focused on resolving your immediate challenges.

Or maybe you're yearning to understand yourself on a deeper level, looking to connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Then, we could embark on a longer voyage with Psychotherapeutic work. Together, we'll untangle the threads of your childhood experiences and how they echo in your present.

My speciality lies in helping you heal from the scars of childhood trauma, navigate through the stormy waters of loss and grief, manage the dark clouds of anxiety and depression, and smooth out relationship wrinkles. I use a mix of therapeutic approaches, including Transactional Analysis (TA), a powerful method that peels back the layers of our psyche, all the way back to our childhood. If needed, I also weave in elements from other modalities to make sure our journey together truly meets your needs.

During our sessions, think of me as a co-pilot. I'll guide you, ask questions, share insights, and sometimes even challenge you. But remember, this journey is ultimately yours—you're in the driver's seat, steering your own growth and development. I'm just here to help you navigate.

So, if you're ready to start this journey, I'm ready too. Let's take that first step together.
