Since qualifying in Integrative Counselling in 2010, I went on to set up and develop Clear Minds Talking Therapies. My passion is to help those who have a need in this area and it has been my privilege to assist hundreds of individuals, couples, children, and families to change the lives for the better.
Once I qualified in 2010, I decided to continue my training within the counselling profession. This brought my journey to Chester University to study for my PG Dip in Cognitive Behavioural Approaches. I also undertook a PG Certificate in working with Children & Families.
In 2013 I decided that the next step in my career was to train to become a Case Work/Clinical Supervision at the Centre for Personal Development.
I am currently studying at the University of Cumbria for my Masters Degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, which should be completed in 2015. I am also in the process of completing my British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy Accreditation with aim of completing it by Summer 2015.
I am also Registered with the Counselling Directory
Karen Ashcroft Dip Couns MBACP
Person Centred Counsellor
Having trained and qualified with a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling from St. Helen’s College in 2008, I have a strong commitment and dedication to grow and develop my practice by attaining regular Supervision and CPD, adhering to the BACP ethical framework.
In the past, I have also contracted work for Wigan Council Family Services, NHS, Footsteps St Helen’s and Warrington, and various independent schools within Liverpool.
My extensive counselling experience encompasses a range of issues, including: depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and grief counselling, drugs and alcohol, sexual health, women’s health, trauma, and suicide prevention.
Having the ability to empathise with individuals whilst retaining an objective and realistic approach to their treatment and therapy, my approach is integrative as I offer counselling and therapy to children with Theraplay. Teenagers and adults also enjoy my unique approach! My particular area of interest lies in mental health and arts in therapy as it relates to physical and social well-being.
