Ash Chopra, BACP, NCPS

Counsellor and psychotherapist Ash Chopra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has nine years of professional experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression.

Ash approaches sessions in a straightforward way. He treats people as the experts in their own lives and looks for practical steps they can try between meetings. He offers coping strategies and helps clients plan and test small changes they can use day to day. He also runs workshops, teaches at college and university level, and supervises other counsellors.

His work draws on several therapeutic approaches so he can match the method to the concern. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones. He uses client-centred methods to listen without judgement and to explore what matters most to the person in front of him. He also makes use of cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Ash is experienced in discussing identity, cultural difference and diversity. He can talk about intimacy, abandonment and communication problems, and he can work with complex areas such as trauma, chronic illness and codependency. He notes issues clearly and helps people find practical paths forward rather than offering quick fixes.

Sessions focus on steady progress. Ash emphasises regular agreed meetings and small, consistent steps. He will explain different approaches and help set goals, leaving decisions about changes in the client’s hands.
