About Ash

Ash Chopra helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and depression through talking therapies and practical work. He uses a mix of approaches and works with people to identify strengths and plan steps forward. Ash 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.

Ash offers one-to-one sessions and also works with couples in relationship therapy. He approaches sessions without judgement and encourages clients to lead the work. He often combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing to help people make changes they want.

He pays attention to identity, culture and diversity in sessions and aims to work respectfully around these matters. Ash can suggest coping strategies and practical plans when people want them, while keeping decisions with the client. He describes his overall method as integral, drawing on several therapeutic models to suit a person’s needs.

As a university and college lecturer he runs workshops and seminars and also provides casework supervision to other counsellors. That background informs his practice and his interest in education and professional development.

Ash is clear that therapy takes time and regular sessions to be most helpful. He encourages commitment to agreed sessions and works collaboratively to set realistic goals, review progress and adapt plans when needed.

How Ash uses talking therapies in online sessions

Ash commonly draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what the person brings, helping them feel understood and clarifying what matters most. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current connections.

Finding the right way of working is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can be revisited as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also mean people can continue therapy while travelling or when schedules change, and a range of approaches can be used effectively in remote sessions.
