Couples Counselling in Oxford

I am an integrative counsellor and coach, working with adults and teenagers in East Oxford or online. I meet you where you are on your journey, from beginning to speak your truth, to rebalancing your conflicts, to making and sustaining important changes. My specialities include but are not limited to: culture shock, chronic pain, cultivating your creativity, LGBT issues, including non-traditional relationship styles.

You may feel like you’re stuck in repetitive cycles of unwanted thoughts and feelings. You may find that this stops you from going out of your comfort zone and stops you from connecting to the people that are important to you. From the outside it may look like you're keeping it all together but on the inside you feel trapped. With 15 years experience of working in mental health I aim to support you to unlock your potential through becoming more self-aware. I provide a safe, respectful and supportive space for you to identify your specific needs, explore issues and work through your difficulties.

I offer counselling and therapeutic coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel confused 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 non-judgemental 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.

Hello I'm Carole. Finding the right therapist can be a difficult decision, especially if you are having a stressful time. Finding out about the therapist and the therapeutic process can be useful and can enable you to find the right therapist for you. I work with a wide range of people and life issues including: feeling stuck, life transitions, depression, anxiety, bereavement, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, trauma, addictions and many others. Call me and we can have a short chat to discuss what you are looking for and how I am able to help you.

Are you at a crossroads? Have a problem to solve and are unsure how to? Stuck in a place but not sure what to do next? Thinking about your next career step? What to do in retirement? Dealing with a stressful relationship ? I am skilled in successfully helping people find a way through their life journey, and I do that by letting them stay in charge and work things out on their own terms. My working style is compassionate and collaborative, guiding you to take that step confidently and flourish along the way. It’s not magic, but the results can be!

Do you or a loved one have unhealthy habits that are becoming regular routines? Is anxiety, low mood or depression causing you to feel lost, helpless or worthless? Is drinking or using drugs becoming more frequent as a way of coping? Are personal and work relationships being affected? Is your mental or physical health affecting your motivation? Do you feel shame, remorse and loneliness? If you or someone you are supporting is experiencing any of these feelings then I can help.

He is currently completing doctoral research at Oxford University on the psychoanalysis of dreams. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, John-Henry played professional rugby in several successful teams, winning the Guinness Premiership, European Cup and Varsity matches as Captain at Oxford University.

You may be coming to counselling because you are in crisis, unable to see a way through a situation or feeling lost or alone. You might be seeking the 'right' answer around a difficult life decision. It may have taken many years to find the courage to seek help for issues which run deep, perhaps stemming from difficult, early experiences in childhood or from trauma. I specialise in working with self esteem and anxiety, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ folks, however, everybody is welcome.

Perhaps life feels overwhelming for you at the moment? Maybe you are struggling to cope or engage with life in the way that you would like to? Everyone's difficulties are unique to them, as your counsellor I am here to connect with your own path and support you in the journey this path has and is taking you. Together we can build the road ahead. Whatever you feel you want to bring to our sessions, as your counsellor I will provide a safe and confidential place where you can express yourself freely and attain a deeper understanding into yourself and your difficulties. We will work entirely at your pace.

I work with people who feel ready to address some kind of dis-ease in their lives, whether that is an anxiety, addiction, relationship question or stress-related physical pain. Many of these issues take time to address properly although people often experience relief relatively quickly. I worked as a teacher before becoming a psychotherapist, and still like the Greek word for teaching: pedagogy, which has at its heart the idea of accompanying. I accompany people in-person and online, on their journey; I rarely offer advice but work with people to help them understand themselves, what they want, and the best way forward for them.

Are you tired of going around the same old mountain? Counselling could be the first step in you experiencing the change you desire.

You may struggle with feeling depressed & anxious or experience panic attacks, which could be for an number of reasons, such as relationship issues, past and historic problems, family issues, work related stress, bullying, burnout, redundancy, loss, identity issues, low-self-esteem, low-self confidence, feeling sad & hopeless, loneliness, identity struggles, childhood trauma, or emotional abuse. You may also feel overwhelmed by emotions like shame and guilt or always feel responsible for things and experience a high sense of duty and obligation and feel stuck in that and don't know how to change or to make sense of your experience.

Tired of finding yourself frustrated, lonely, unfulfilled and lost in your intimate life and relationships? Yes, spending life stuck and unhappy, feeling like a lab rat – trying to figure out a maze without a map can be soul destroying. I've been talking, teaching and helping people with their relationships and sexuality since 2007, and no story can faze me. You can feel safe - I'll get you. I will understand and not judge one bit. This is your journey. Are you struggling with intimacy and sexuality? Are you curious about kinky sex or swinging? Or maybe you want to open your relationship ? Or to begin with - actually find a partner ?

I provide focused therapy that will help you to see your patterns and emotions as well as moral and ethical challenges arising from interpersonal and social contexts better, to then allow you to change them. Obstacles to change are very subtle, often almost invisible. Self-awareness can redirect your energies to creating more positive states of mind. We will work on how ethical and moral dilemmas arise between people, how this interacts with different life experiences that impact your personality and how that then affects your psychological well being.

Hi there! I would very much like to help you with your difficulties. I am currently providing online and phone therapy sessions rather than any face to face sessions. I have worked within and outside of the NHS for over 10 years specialising in anxiety/depression/trauma/ physical illness/ self esteem. However as a Clinical Psychologist I work with all ages and difficulties either individually or with couples and families. I am fully accredited as CBT therapist as well as a Clinical Psychologist so draw on many different therapies to tailor treatment to suit your needs.

Hello, my name is Bea, and I am a Counsellor (BACP) and Clinical Psychologist (Conselho Regional de Psicologia - CRP- Brazil) with many years of experience working in hospitals with people facing life-threatening illnesses, in mental health settings, as well as in private practice. I provide a compassionate and safe space for you to express your emotions and feelings in your therapeutic process with me. I draw my practice based on the Psychodynamic approach - here we explore common types of mental health concerns, including general information, signs and symptoms, treatment options, self-care and how therapy can help.

I utilise a blend of positive psychotherapeutic enquiry and solution focussed approaches, to identify and reframe the cause of limiting beliefs and behaviours. I tailor my approach and work with individuals and couples . Whether you need to overcome a traumatic experience, difficulties in relationships, self esteem, anxiety or coaching to provide skills to transition through life, manage a situation or perform at your best. Building an independent, safe and trusting environment for you to explore issues and challenges in life: both work and/or personal is important for me.
