AXA PPP Counselling in Oxford
Hi there! I am Amber, the Director of Healthy Mind Psychology. We aim to be a different type of practice. Our focus includes work with those people trying to cope with all the stresses and strains of unprecedented times upon us. But many struggle with issues outside of the normal narrative of mental health, or physical health too. Our practice aims to explain the stress response (whether that be from overdue bills, a critical family system, a harsh workplace, current or previous traumas, or a host of other things!) and the science behind how the mind/body interact to create physical symptoms, emotional distress, or bad habits!

I'm registered with major insurance providers including Aviva, AXA PPP, Cigna, General & Medical and WPA.
Do you often hear yourself say "I can't do it anymore"? And yet you carry on...
If you're an autistic professional in your 40s or beyond, decades of masking at work and at home may have led to burnout.
You manage relentless demands: the technical complexity, the ever-present urgency, the performative socialising. All that drains you. You wonder whether it will ever end. Resentment and frustration become harder to keep in...Sometimes you explode in anger or you stop speaking.
What you crave is peaceful solitude to engage with your deep interests, be it code, research or another passion. But there's never time, never space.

You might be someone who’s thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck, lost, or disconnected. On the surface, things may look fine, but something doesn’t sit right. You may be navigating a transition, questioning who you are, or wanting more depth and meaning in your life. You’ve likely tried to make sense of things on your own. Here, we slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin to find a way forward that feels more true to you.

Have you always felt different or had trouble fitting in? Perhaps you're thinking that you might have Autism/ASD, ADHD or Tics/Tourette’s, Dyslexia or a learning disability. Would you like an assessment for yourself or your child to confirm this? Or maybe you have been newly diagnosed or have traits of ASD, ADHD or Tourette’s and are looking for further information and support. I, and my small team of expert psychologists at Neurodiverseonline, offer diagnostic assessments for adults and children with Autism/ASD, ADHD, Tourette's/Tics, Dyslexia and cognitive assessments (IQ tests) / learning disability assessments.

You are the expert on yourself an only you can decide what might work for you. We will form a plan together, perhaps over the course of two to three sessions, of how we can proceed, and what we collaboratively believe is going on for you. You will find my practice is based on a humanistic, integrative, pluralistic blending of possibilities from several frameworks, including CBT, Gestalt, Compassion Focused Therapy, ideas from psychodynamic practice, with a person-centred, humanistic core.

Being human is uniquely challenging. Unexpected (& even expected!) life events, our individual experiences and changes in our personal lives can impact us more than we know. We become quite skilled at developing both helpful and not-so-helpful coping strategies. These work for some time. Until they don't. That's when we may need help to understand and make sense of what we've been dealing with.
That's where I come in! We'll work together to understand your unique situation and what you want to change. The hope is that together, we'll help you get back on track and feel like a better version of yourself.

I specialise in anxiety, (including OCD), perinatal mental health, and trauma leading to attachment/relationship struggles. You might find yourself stuck in a loop of anxiety, or have thoughts that you feel too embarrassed to share. Maybe you have to force yourself out of bed, only to have another day that’s miserable. You might feel you’ve reached a stagnant point in life, feel anxious in your relationships, or maybe you’re going through huge change, like a break up or having a baby. Many people reach out to me to start therapy facing these problems. My aim is that you leave therapy feeling in control, happier, and understood

Starting therapy can be a big step, and it’s normal to feel nervous or unsure about what to expect. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where we can take things at a pace that feels right for you. During our sessions, we’ll explore what’s happening for you, and i’ll listen to understand your experiences. Collaboration is key in my approach- I believe in working side by side so that you feel empowered and an active part of our journey together.

Maybe you're exhausted from carrying something that was never yours to carry. Going over situations on a loop -what you think you should have said, done, prevented. Flinching at a tone of voice or touch. Memories that resurface and pull shame and guilt to the surface, as raw as the day it happened. Lying awake after a nightmare, heart racing, telling yourself you should be over this by now. You say yes when you mean no. You keep people at a distance to stay safe, yet ache for real connection. You tell yourself you're broken, unlovable, not good enough. You're holding it together on the outside but inside, you're still just surviving

I have worked in mental health for over ten years with adults across the lifespan, children and families who have experienced a range of difficulties, in both community and inpatient settings. I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and currently work in a specialist NHS service for people with learning disabilities. I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.

Thank you for taking the time to look my profile. My approach to working with you is about what you want to work on and achieve in therapy. Whether you are experiencing sadness, depression or a sense of disconnection, the human condition is characterised by a fundamental desire for connection and being heard. I work holistically on your whole self - the mind and body as one. This is firmly routed in my trainings and experience. I have a relaxed and informal approach, which supports your ability to be truly who you are, in a non-judgemental and confidential environment.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

Perhaps you are experiencing stress, low-self esteem, the effects of trauma, bereavement or depression. Maybe you feel that something isn't quite 'right'. If so, psychotherapy could be used to help you gain self-acceptance, and a deeper understanding of what makes you 'tick' and what doesn't. Psychotherapy is typically a weekly meeting of fifty minutes, often over a medium to long term. With time and commitment, we aim to build what may be called a 'therapeutic alliance' that allows you to feel able to safely explore and eventually understand and come to terms with difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences both current and past.

Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, lost, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck. They may be navigating burnout, low self-worth, relationship challenges or a life transition such as career change, menopause, or the end of a relationship. Often capable and reflective, they're ready to understand what's going on beneath the surface, ease internal pressure, and make meaningful changes. Their goals often include feeling more grounded, building emotional resilience, and creating a calmer, more connected relationship with themselves — and life. They're not in crisis, but they know something needs to shift.

Starting therapy can sometimes be a daunting experience. Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You can consider whether I am the right fit for you, and we can explore your goals and motivations for therapy, creating a collaborative plan for potentially working together. With lots of space for any questions you may have! I hold a strong desire to create space for individuals to share their voices, to feel seen and to be heard. Alongside my professional knowledge, I hope to draw from my personal journey to inspire warmth, authenticity, and connection within the therapeutic relationship we build.
