WELCOME

My name is Dr Katie Ashcroft. I am a Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Clinical Psychologist with a Masters and Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. I am accredited as both therapist and supervisor with the British Association of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), and am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I work in London, if you want to see me face-to-face I hold clinics in Clapham.

My expertise includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Family Work, and Schema Focused Work if there are deep-seated negative beliefs. I offer these evidence-based psychological therapies for people experiencing:

I like to fit the therapy to the person rather than trying to fit everyone I work with into the same box. I am a firm believer that you do not need to be in therapy for years. Working at a pace that suits you, it is my job to empower you to overcome your difficulties and handle things differently; so that in the end you have the knowledge and skills to deal with the things that used to trip you up.

More About Me:
I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2002.  From then on I specialised in working with adults with mental health difficulties.  I have more than six years’ experience working as the Consultant Clinical Psychologist for Hampshire’s Early Intervention in Psychosis Service.  Consequently, I have many years of experience of working with people who face a wide range of difficulties.

I have supported people to get over mild anxiety or depression, at other times I have worked with individuals who have experienced traumatic events or who were experiencing psychosis.
