My specialisms include addiction, anxiety, depression, couples therapy, self esteem, bereavement, identity and trauma.
I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion and simply need to talk. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and begin to understand where it began: Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is compassionate and kind. My purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find purpose, meaning and peace in your life.

I have over twenty-five years of helping adults experiencing loss and/or change.
With many years' experience of seeing clients, I welcome adults of all ages. You are invited to arrange a free twenty minute conversation on Zoom with me to see how comfortable you feel. I aim to provide a calm, safe space for you to bring whatever you want or need to. You will be listened to with respect and integrity. Often when a client is in crisis, it is impossible for them to believe that they will be able to come through it and experience better times. I can hold that belief for them until they turn a corner for the better and they can begin to feel it themselves. It is so good to witness someone coming through.

I provide a safe therapeutic space in which the problems and mysteries of being human can be explored respectfully and creatively. My aim is to bring insight and understanding to the challenges in your life, facilitating growth and change. My approach is collaborative but you would remain in control, determining the pace of therapy, the material you bring, when and how we address deeply painful or traumatic issues, the duration of your therapy and eventually how we end it. ​

Our clinic offers evidence-based psychological therapies. We provide a confidential space where individuals can explore emotional difficulties that may be longstanding, complex, or resistant to change. Informed by relational models that emphasise the therapeutic relationship as a dynamic, co-created process, our work supports meaningful, lasting change through sustained attention to the deeper layers of the mind. This integrative approach is supported by a growing body of clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness, especially in complex or chronic cases, with benefits that often continue beyond the duration of therapy.

From relationship issues and childhood trauma to assault, grief and loss.
If you look 'together' on the outside but still feel part of you is stuck in survival. If you have done a lot of work already and still feel something is missing or doesn't feel right this is for you. That missing part shows up as holding you back at work, in your business or in your relationships. You are wondering why you still react in ways and with patterns that repeat when you know better: that is the past trauma is running the show. As a trauma resolution psychologist and coach I help you rewire the impact of past trauma so you can finally fully inhabit a thriving identity.

I have experience of working with adults who have had experience of abuse, trauma, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, divorce, anxiety, low mood and depression.
I will work with you by helping you to think about the issues you are facing now or have gone through in the past, to help you make sense of them and to process painful or difficult feelings. Working psychodynamically means that we will think about your current feelings or symptoms and see how these may be affected and shaped by your past experiences.

Hi I'm Judit. I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin looking for a therapist. You may be feeling anxious, stressed, struggling with depression, burnout, relationship challenges, or health challenges. If you’re here, you might be looking for a space where you can talk openly and begin to understand what’s happening for you. I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to seek support, and to help you decide whether I might be the right therapist for you. I’d like to share a little about how I work.

In my Central Oxford practice I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, rather than be guided by expectations and pleasing others. I also work with people who have experienced trauma, including with a PTSD diagnosis, helping them to process the trauma and reduce unwanted symptoms. I help couples to reset their relationships to a healthier state, to hear and understand each other and to make joint decisions about the future of their relationship and their family system.

Often, individual difficulties are accompanied by the challenges of daily life, which make each person’s experience different and their therapeutic needs unique. Through short or long term therapy, I aim to support meaningful change in areas you would like to work on, with an understanding of the wider picture of how these issues may feature in daily life.

Neurodivergent individuals are more likely to experience mental health difficulties, yet often find themselves feeling misunderstood by professionals. Drawing on my personal and professional background, I offer affirming and inclusive therapy both online and face-to-face in Headington and Summertown. I work primarily with autistic and ADHD clients experiencing a wide range of issues, including trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, low mood, procrastination, perfectionism, disordered eating, and difficulties regulating emotions.

I am an experienced integrative therapist offering in-person sessions in Oxford or Cheltenham. For over ten years I have worked with a wide range of emotional difficulties and life situations; anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, lack of purpose and more. Problems which feel too much to deal with alone or with close ones. Times of change can also be an impetus for starting therapy and I have worked with people experiencing transitions in their life (be it relationships, career, age and more) and who want space and time to re-orientate, discover or rediscover their sense of self and how they want to move forwards.
