Holistic therapy for anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma.
Falling in Love With Your Life Begins Within
The way you see and care for yourself shapes all of your relationships and decisions. Together, we’ll work to build self-compassion, clarity, and confidence, so you can create a life you love.
Compassionate Therapy for…
-
Anxiety
Daily demands, perfectionism, constant change, and the pull to find meaning can leave you feeling anxious and overwhelmed. We’ll explore how to ground and reconnect with yourself and make peace with change and uncertainty.
-
Depression
When you’re constantly trying to please other people and lose sight of your own needs, it’s easy to feel empty, disconnected, and stuck. Depression often reflects a deeper struggle with finding meaning and navigating the gap between who you are and who you want to be. In our work together, we’ll honor your experience, uncover the roots of your pain, and explore how to move forward with purpose and self-compassion.
-
Relationships
Navigating relationships as an adult can be deeply challenging. Whether you’re struggling with old patterns, people pleasing, cultivating new connections, or questioning your sense of self within a relationship, we’ll explore how to create meaningful, balanced, and genuine bonds.
-
Trauma
Painful experiences often impact how you connect with yourself and the world around you. It can cause you to lose parts of who you are—or prevent you from ever fully developing those parts. Together, we’ll process your story, rebuild your sense of identity, and move toward a life that feels whole and true to you.
Why Mental Health Counseling?
Life is filled with uncertainty, loss, and moments that challenge us to reassess what truly matters. These experiences can leave us feeling untethered—especially if we’re carrying unprocessed trauma, questioning our identity, or feeling trapped in old patterns. Counseling offers a path to clarity and connection.
The connections we form—first with family, then with friends, partners, and the world around us—shape who we are. Yet when those relationships make us feel unseen, unheard, or unworthy, it’s easy to internalize those messages and lose sight of ourselves. For women, this struggle is often magnified by societal expectations. We’re celebrated for how much we give, how well we care for others, and how seamlessly we appear to hold everything together. But what happens when meeting those expectations comes at the cost of our own sense of self?
Counseling gives you the tools and support to rewrite this story. It’s a chance to:
Reconnect with your needs and desires.
Explore questions about meaning and purpose.
Heal relational wounds.
Break free from roles that no longer serve you.
Build self-compassion and confidence.
Make choices that align with what you want, not just what’s expected
I work with women just like you—women who are navigating the emotional weight of the past and the (un)spoken pressures from those around them. Together, we’ll break free from cycles that no longer serve you, heal what’s holding you back, and reconnect with your authentic self.
"Coming home to yourself is the first step to belonging anywhere else."
Meet Ashley Allen
I help women reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with purpose, love, and self-compassion.
Hi there, I’m Ashley! I’m a therapist based in Lutry, Switzerland. I specialize in mental health counseling for childhood trauma, relationship concerns, loss of identity, depression, and anxiety. Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected, grappling with low self-esteem, self-abandonment, lack of boundaries, or the pressure to meet societal expectations. Together, we work to process their stories, rebuild hope, and create a meaningful life.
My practice is a space to explore your truth with curiosity and compassion, process past pain, and cultivate resilience. No matter what you’ve been through, you are worthy of love and a life that feels fulfilling. I hope to empower you to make authentic choices and show up wholeheartedly in your life.
