Millie Ashton , BACP

Millie Ashton is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. They bring deep experience in areas such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, gender dysphoria and LGBTQ issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, parenting and coping with life changes. Millie also draws on ten years of experience as a foster carer working with teenagers who have experienced emotional, physical and sexual abuse, which informs a practical and compassionate understanding of complex family and attachment challenges.

Millie practices using a person-centred, client-led approach which focuses on what each individual brings to the session and allows the agenda to shift as needs change. They also integrate cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful, tailoring discussions and strategies to meet each person’s unique situation. Millie aims to treat everyone with equal respect, sensitivity and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels, adapting the pace and style of therapy to each client’s preferences.

They recognise that seeking therapy takes courage and that meaningful change often requires time, honesty and self-reflection. Millie works collaboratively to set realistic goals and encourages clients to seek the best match for their needs, including switching therapists if that would support a better outcome. They welcome the opportunity to listen, support and work alongside people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
