Addiction Counselling in Oxford
You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps past experiences still affect your confidence, relationships or sense of direction. You might be facing a life transition, university, career change, identity questions or loss and want reassurance that you’re making the right choices. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where we work collaboratively and at your pace, using an integrative, humanistic, trauma-informed approach to help you feel more grounded, confident and emotionally secure, and better able to understand yourself, your need, build a more fulfilled & balanced life

I believe that each person is unique. Therefore, therapy needs to be tailored to the individual. Some people may prefer an open space for them to talk, taking the time to reflect on their experiences, whereas others may need something more structured, with the hope of learning effective coping strategies. Some may want a bit of both. There is not a one size fits all. I draw from evidence-based modalities of therapy, such as CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered to create a therapeutic plan tailored to the client and their goals. I also offer neurodevelopmental and psychological assessments, such as ADHD.

I specialise in Addictions and Substance Misuse being an area that I have worked in for many years and have a great understanding.
Many people know that they want to speak with a therapist, but are a afraid that their 'stuff' might shock or hurt them. PLEASE trust me - I do understand how awful life can be, how cruel some people can be, how we do things to survive that we wish we hadn't. Try me - you will find that I am not going to be shocked or hurt, and that I can listen with understanding, warmth and without judgment, for as long as it takes to put your demons to rest and move on with your life.

I work with 1-1 clients and couples / multiple partner clients. I'm also trained by Metanoia Institute for 1-1 work and CICS (contemporary institute of clinical sexology) in intimate partnered therapy to work with couples + multiple partnered people
Reasons to seek out therapy are, much like ourselves, varied, nuanced and complex. A deeply empathic, attentive presence and trust for how you process things and what you decide to bring to therapy are at the heart of my practice.
My work is therefore centred around attending to the whole person, with equal respect and worth for both content and process, both feeling and thinking.

Are you feeling a growing distance in your relationship — lonely, unheard, or going round in the same difficult patterns? Maybe communication has broken down, trust feels shaky, or life just feels overwhelming and it’s starting to affect how you connect with the people around you. You don’t have to work it out on your own.
Relationships can be a real source of comfort, but when things aren’t working, it can feel confusing and painful, and it often spills into other areas of life. You might be dealing with conflict at home, a relationship ending, anxiety, low mood, or just a constant sense that things don’t feel quite right.

I often work with: anxiety, relationship issues, painful family dynamics, addictions, trainee therapists, students and highly sensitive people.
My work suits people who want depth, rather than quick fixes.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable and used to holding things together for others – yet also feel anxious, low or unsure who they are below the roles they play. I offer a space where we can gently uncover what's underneath these patterns, reduce shame and help you feel more at ease with yourself. My work is reflective and in-depth, supporting you to live in ways that feel more honest and aligned to who you truly are.

I work with individuals who want to understand and change deep emotional and relational patterns, especially where trauma, shame, anxiety, self-abandonment, attachment wounds or painful relationship dynamics keep repeating.
You may be asking yourself, “Can I be helped?” especially if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, carrying too much, or finding that childhood experiences still live in your body and responses.
My approach is trauma-informed and draws on EMDR, somatic and attachment-based work. Together, we can look at relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, boundaries, self-worth, intimacy, sexuality, and divorce.

Many of the men I work with have spent years pushing things down, coping alone, or feeling they should just “get on with it” — until life becomes too heavy to carry quietly.
I work specifically with men and understand that starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or difficult to talk about. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and be properly heard.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 25 years working in the construction industry, with some of that time spent running my own business. I understand the pressures many men carry — the expectation to cope and keep going.

People come when something isn’t sitting right. Anxiety, overthinking, feeling on edge. Relationships can feel stuck or go round in the same loops. If you’re neurodivergent, everyday things can take more effort than expected. I work with individuals and couples. With individuals, we slow things down and look at what’s actually happening day to day. With couples, I use the Gottman Method, focusing on communication and conflict. I’m a BACP accredited integrative counsellor, trained to Level 6 in supervision and Level 4 in counselling, and I also work as a counselling tutor.
