Ash Chopra, BACP, NCPS

Ash Chopra is a counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years of professional experience. He works from a respectful, non-judgemental stance and aims to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with relationship, trauma or intimacy-related difficulties. He speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.

He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and focuses on helping people discover their strengths. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Ash offers practical coping strategies and helps people plan steps they can try between meetings if that feels helpful.

As well as one-to-one work, he also provides relationship therapy. He has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, body image and caregiver stress. He also works with people affected by chronic illness, autism and personality-related difficulties.

Ash describes his approach as integral, drawing on several therapeutic ways of working to match what a person needs. Among the methods he uses are attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused work. He can explain these in more detail during the first sessions.

He 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 also works as a university and college lecturer and provides workshops and casework supervision to other counsellors.

How Ash’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. In therapy this means looking at patterns in relationships and building new ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and help people cope with difficult feelings in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ash will discuss your concerns and try different ways of working to find what helps most. Decisions are made together based on your goals, preferences and what feels useful in practice.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into busy lives, offering shorter travel time, easier scheduling around work or family, and the chance to meet without needing to travel. Online meetings can also make it easier to continue regular sessions while juggling day-to-day commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversational work so therapy remains practical and goal-focused even when it happens remotely.
