Rose Ashton

Rose Ashton is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, stress and anxiety. She supports people dealing with depression and life transitions. Rose meets clients with warmth and respect and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She is a registered member of the BACP, which means she works within a recognised professional framework. Rose has three years of clinical experience and uses that time to guide conversations toward practical change. Her manner is friendly and compassionate, and she focuses on understanding each person as an individual.

Her core approach is person-centred; sessions are built around what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles help when relationship feelings need clearer attention, and solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals.

In practice, Rose listens carefully and tailors each session to the person in front of her. She helps with relationship strain, communication problems, and the emotional impact of bereavement. Rose also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body-image difficulties, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.

Starting therapy with Rose means discussing your priorities, agreeing simple steps, and reviewing progress together. She aims to be pragmatic while staying empathic, helping people find their next step through steady, person-focused work.

How approach and online sessions can work together

Rose uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and emotionally-focused ideas. Person-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong emotions in relationships need clearer attention and repair.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and current needs, and together you will agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who find it easier to meet without leaving home or who need to manage appointments around caregiving or work commitments.
