About me

Charis Ashton MSc MBACP

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist to adults of all ages and life stages. I trained at Birkbeck College, University of London and hold an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Having worked as a counsellor and therapist in community settings, for a suicide prevention charity and in private practice, I have experience working with a range of people and issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bereavement, life stage transitions, relationship issues, anger management, stress, burn out and work related issues. I have trained as a bereavement counsellor at Cruse Bereavement Support.

I am also a qualified Systems Psychodynamic Coach having undertaken training at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

I am registered with the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions.

I work in Sussex: Hove, Hurstpierpoint, and online.

Research on what works in psychotherapy emphasises the importance of the relationship between client and therapist. So finding the right therapist for you is important. You are welcome to contact me to see if we can work together.
