CK THERAPY

CK Therapy was launched by Catherine Kniveton, a qualified art psychotherapist, in 2020 and initially ran through online consultations, before she opened her first private practice in Ashby the following year. The practice on North Street opened in 2023 & there is now a team of 8 psychotherapists based there; all of whom are fully qualified and registered with their governing bodies. This vast array of knowledge

have compassionate and kind self-talk. Catherine is passionate about helping people and says it is a privilege that people feel comfortable to share their experience of something that may have been difficult to talk about for a long time with her. She aims to support her clients to reach a place where she is no longer needed and they are able to go about their daily life without the need of regular support from a therapist.

GOOSE

Goose was started by Helen in 2016 and has been on

Market Street here in Ashby ever since. You will no doubt

be familiar with their shop window, as they are always

guaranteed to do a great display for the town’s celebrations, whatever they may be. Helen describes the store as a ladies’ boutique offering chic, stylish designs in luxurious fabrics. They have stock arriving regularly, so no two visits are ever the same and Helen and the team enjoy getting to know their customers, many of whom have become regulars in the eight years they have been in town.

What sets Goose apart is the stylist service they also offer. So, if you are stuck in a rut, or have a special occasion or holiday coming up and need some styling advice, look no further, they can help you find the perfect look. Similarly, if you have an item of clothing you love, but don’t know how to make an outfit of it, the ladies can offer you inspiration,

whatever your budget. Helen says that without a doubt, the most

enjoyable upstairs are always good sellers, along with the blouses stocked downstairs. It’s the people that Amber enjoys most about owning the shop & the interactions with people from so many different walks of life. She is also proud of the fact that she is giving the items in her collection another chance to be loved, which feels very refreshing in a world that can so often be about ‘fast fashion’.
