About Ashleigh

Counsellor and BACP member Ashleigh Brown has six years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She is based in Glasgow and lists a background in counselling and psychology.

Ashleigh uses straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on what clients want to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance and commitment techniques to help with difficult feelings and repeated unhelpful patterns.

Her background in psychology informs how she thinks about behaviour and thinking. That helps when discussing issues such as sleep, eating, and coping with long-term health conditions. She also offers support around relationship and intimacy concerns, communication and commitment problems, and work-related stress.

Risk assessment and structured counselling are part of the work when these are needed. Ashleigh aims to make sessions focused and clear, with time to check progress and agree next steps. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns.

People who want practical, conversational therapy often find this way of working helpful. Ashleigh accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking it is sensible to check the current session options and any fees that apply in your area.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and allow difficult thoughts and feelings while keeping sight of their values and goals. It can be useful for long-standing anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance has become a problem.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current attachments and reactions. This can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues or ongoing trust problems are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods might suit your needs and preferences. That choice is made together, with regular checks on how the work is going and changes if something is not helpful.

Please confirm the session formats available before you book, as the biography does not specify which formats are used. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life - for example a shorter check-in at lunch, avoiding travel time, or using audio if video is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help therapy fit around work, family and health commitments.
