Counselling in Banbury

Hi! Thank you for being here! Are you feeling stuck at the moment in your life? You don’t know what to do and where to start? Are you willing to gain some understanding of what is keeping you in uncomfortable situations and away from living the life you wish to have? Talking with someone you trust about how you feel and what’s worrying you can be a massive relief. You may be exposed to new perspectives, but even if not, sometimes just getting your worries off your chest can really help you to feel less alone.

CBT is a practical, present-focused and collaborative approach aimed at understanding problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. We will develop a list of personalised, time-limited treatment goals, and strategies for change. This approach can be used to help anyone, irrespective of ability, culture, race or gender.

I am an experienced Family and Systemic Psychotherapist offering online and in person therapy to individuals, couples and families.

Many of us face challenges at different times in our lives and want to make changes in our relationship with others and with ourselves. Many people have experienced trauma in their lives.

Asking for help can be hard but counselling/psychotherapy offers you a place to discuss your dreams, dissatisfactions and difficulties with someone who is trained neither to judge nor advise. My role is to create a supportive space where you can gain greater insight into your concerns and desires. I will support you to find out what has been holding you back and to discover how you want to move forward.

Maybe you haven’t been feeling quite yourself lately or a significant life event has left you reeling, or you just can’t quite put your finger on it, but you know something is off. It can feel really overwhelming, scary, heavy and lonely when this happens. The thought of reaching out for help can feel very daunting and I really appreciate how hard it can be to send that first email or make that call. I will do my best to put you at ease and provide a safe empathic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment and be fully accepted just as you are. All emotions are welcome tears, laughter and swearing.

Are you looking for a holistic healing journey? If so, you’ve come to the right place. I am a trauma informed body psychotherapist, bringing the whole of your being into play. In our journey together, your whole background can be embraced- ancestors, feelings, somatic sensations, spiritual considerations, everything you sense in your world.

We will work with both the apparent and the hidden, the least knowable parts of your self that remain in the

The key to any successful therapy is to build a trusting relationship between a therapist and a client. I am here to listen and to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, which can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming. I offer a secure, non judgemental, professional and confidential environment where we work together to try and make sense of how you are feeling. I have experience of working with a number of different issues and I hope that by building our relationship together, we can gain a better understanding of how you can overcome difficulties and move forward.

Sometimes feelings can be overwhelming to hold alone and you might want to share this with someone who is trained to listen, who offers a safe and nurturing space. Changes in your life may have created a loss of the person you once were. Perhaps you feel that you lack purpose and you would like more meaning in your life. You may have conflicting feelings, or what once seemed to make sense may have become confusing. Situations may be familiar, yet uncomfortable and you may be wondering why you can’t move forward.

Anyone who is interested in addressing their mental wellbeing as a result of crisis, being in need of symptom management or is simply concerned with personal development

I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to talk over whatever's troubling you, either as an individual (£60) or as a couple (£75). I am also a clinical supervisor (£60). Sometimes, people think their problems aren't big enough to warrant counselling, or are too big for someone else to cope with, but if there’s something that’s getting in the way of you leading your life the way you want, we can look at that together. Or there may be one particular event in your life which is affecting you which we can explore so you get a good understanding of how it affects you, and the changes you might like to make.

Hello and welcome to my profile. As your counsellor, I will join you on your journey, and walk alongside you, as you lead the way. I will offer you a safe, confidential and nurturing space, to help you get a different perspective.

Hello and welcome. Making the decision to begin therapy or counselling can be anxiety provoking. It is important, therefore, to find the right therapist or counsellor for you, as this is a vital element of the psychotherapeutic process. Finding a therapist or counsellor you feel safe with and with whom you have a sense of connection will enable you to explore the issues. People of all ethnicities and social backgrounds seek therapy for a plethora of reasons, and I welcome patients whatever their culture, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender.

I specialise in working with clients facing anxiety, loss, and maternal ill health. I also have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing domestic abuse and the trauma that attaches to this.

I work with people who have experienced trauma in childhood or as an adult. You may be a survivor of physical and/or sexual and/or emotional abuse. You may have experienced loss or tragedy, personal violence or witnessed this. You may have PTSD or Complex PTSD, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm. Experiencing abuse of any kind can leave you with a whole range of difficult and challenging emotions and reactions, and we can feel confused, scared and unsure of many things. I will offer you an accepting and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings on your journey to recovery.

You may have been troubled by something for a while and have tried talking to friends or family, but how you feel hasn’t changed. You may be kept awake by anxiety or stress but you can’t put your finger on what it is that is keeping you awake. Or in fact you do know what is troubling you but have never been able to talk about it. Major changes in your life may have created a loss within the person you once were. Perhaps you feel that you lack purpose and that everything is hopeless. We as humans are very good at pushing things down inside, locking them in a box and marking them DO NOT OPEN, but eventually the box breaks open.
