Ashley Jack

I can be flexible with my availability to suit your needs. Please get in touch with any questions.

I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore the challenges in your life. Whether you're dealing with childhood trauma, relationship breakdowns, stress, overwhelm, depression, or other forms of distress, I am here to help. I have a special interest in exploring the impact of our relationships on our sense of self and how these relationships shape our movement through the world.

My approach to therapy primarily involves the use of Transactional Analysis, combined with elements from various modalities where suitable. I believe in being curious about the discomforts of the present, understanding how past experiences have shaped our coping strategies, and working together to modernise these strategies to better suit your present circumstances and reduce feelings of anxiety.

As your therapist, I aim to strike a balance between being relational and directive, providing guidance when appropriate. My ultimate goal for our sessions is for you to improve your relationship with yourself, fostering a stronger sense of self-understanding and self-compassion.

In this increasingly digital world, I'm pleased to offer online counselling sessions, allowing you to engage in therapy in a way that's most comfortable and convenient for you. I also work with clients in person in the City of Dundee and soon to be Brechin.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Experience and Focus:

In my private practice, I approach therapy with a directive and curious mindset, working relationally with my clients. I believe you know yourself best, and I see myself as a co-pilot in your journey to self-discovery and healing.

My expertise lies in helping individuals and couples navigate the different seasons of their lives and their ever-changing self-identity. This includes:

Couples and Relationships: Building trust, understanding, and growth in romantic relationships.

Marriage: Strengthening the bonds of marriage, fostering open communication, and building lasting trust.

Relationship with Self: Exploring self-awareness, self-love, and self-identity, fostering a deeper connection with oneself.

Navigating Life Changes: Supporting you through transitions, whether they're in your personal life, relationships, or career.

Anxiety and Stress: Providing a safe space to explore feelings of anxiety and stress, helping you build resilience and find balance.

Depression: Offering guidance and support for those dealing with depression, helping you rediscover joy and purpose.

Trauma: Working with you to heal past trauma, creating a path towards recovery and empowerment.

My approach integrates Transactional Analysis and relational work, enabling a tailored therapy experience that aligns with your unique needs and goals. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards a more fulfilled and self-aware life, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.
