Miss Karen L Ashcroft

I am a fully qualified counsellor with BA (Hons) Counselling and BACP (Accred) and fully insured. I am a compassionate, warm, and empathetic Integrative Counsellor with professional training and experience supporting adult clients with complex and varied needs. My background includes working with individuals involved in the criminal justice system, probation caseloads, and clients navigating distress, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and significant health challenges. Drawing on person‑centred theory, CBT, solution‑focused practice, and psychodynamic approaches, I offer a flexible and responsive integrative style. This allows me to adapt my approach to each client’s unique circumstances, ensuring that their needs remain at the centre of our work together. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive therapeutic space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow at their own pace. I believe counselling should be accessible to everyone. I keep my fees low to support clients on tighter budgets, and by offering online counselling, I ensure therapy remains available to those who may be unable to leave their home. I have worked with: Trauma (sexual, physical and mentally) Addiction Sexuality and Gender identity Racism Homelessness Phobias Disability Financial worries Bereavement Caring responsibilities Anger Depression Neurodiversity Poor health / health concerns Please give a call or drop me a message or email to discuss days and times you are available to receive some counselling. I am flexible and will always do my best to work around you and your working schedule.
