Vitality Counselling in Oxford

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.

I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, and a British Psychological Society Chartered Psychologist. I have over 25 years experience of working in mental health settings. In my practice, I provide a safe, confidential and collaborative space for clients to explore their difficulties and find solutions to their problems.

Dr Judith Zur is a highly specialist clinical psychologist and Marital/Family therapist and Social Anthropologist with over thirty years’ experience of providing psychological and counselling interventions, consultation and supervision in the NHS and non-statutory settings in the UK and abroad. She is a caring and professional person experienced working successfully with individuals of all ages, couples and families on a wide range of issues both in her private consultation room and online. Judith´s therapeutic approach is non-judgemental, collaborative, empathic and person/couple-centred.

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.

Hello, I'm Patrick. I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society. I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oxford. I am Co-director of Psychology Oxford. We offer psychological support for children, young people and adults from our practice in North Oxford. Our Clinical, Counselling and Coaching psychologists work using a a range of psychological modalities, including CBT, Mindfulness, and other talking therapies. We are person-centred with a focus on alleviating a range of psychological difficulties that keep us from living our best life.

I work with adults, children and young people across Oxfordshire, and in other locations via online sessions. In line with clinical psychology philosophy, I work by integrating science, psychological theory, and clinical skills/knowledge to my everyday practice of helping others. I have experience of working with people from all walks of life who have been struggling with complex psychological difficulties, often for many years. The stress of life does not make us abnormal, often how we feel, and what we experience is a reflection of what we have been through. These are times when we may need help to work through our problems.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist who specialises in supporting children and young people through emotional, psychological and educational difficulties. I believe that young people and families have their own insight and skills. My job is to help unlock those skills and to build a toolkit for the future. I use evidence-based approaches to working through difficulties and finding solutions. I have been supporting families for many years and have worked with hundreds of children and young people around difficulties including anxiety, phobia, appearance and low mood.

Hello, I'm Flora. I am currently interested in hearing from clients who are looking for long-term, in-depth psychotherapy, with an understanding of spirituality as a personal journey into the nature of suffering. You don't have to be religious, or follow any particular religion. I think of spirituality as a path of self-development. I work with mindfulness to explore your current state of being, in mind, body and spirit. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor, if you are a trainee or qualified counsellor or psychotherapist looking for supervision.

I'm a psychotherapist (MA, MSc), Somatic trauma therapist and EMDR therapist working with depression, anxiety, loss, sexual identity, self-esteem & relationship difficulties, abuse, trauma, PTSD. Through therapy, I can help you restore your strength and build up your resilience so that you can face life’s challenges with greater ease. I’ll support you in learning how to make empowering choices, regain control over your feelings, actions and relationships, as well as finding resolution to painful past events so you can achieve positive changes in life.

All of us at some time will face difficulties and coping can become increasingly hard. It is often difficult talking to friends or family about the things that trouble us most. That's where it can be helpful to talk to a counsellor. A counsellor is trained to listen and understand your life experiences without judgement. Working together you will have the space to explore and better understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This will help you to make decisions about the changes that you want in your life or to accept those things you cannot change.

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.

Are you seeking a safe space with an experienced psychologist? You might be feeling overwhelmed, low, frustrated, guilty, or anxious. Perhaps you feel you've lost part of your identity, impacting on your sense of purpose and self-worth. I know it can be incredibly hard to express what you truly feel and need to others. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to work through current issues, as well as difficulties from your past. I specialise in supporting people with long-term conditions (e.g. chronic pain, depression, cancer), and also work with a range of wider issues (e.g. PTSD and trauma).

I love helping people and finding solutions to things, which is why I became a therapist over 25 years ago and developed my practice to include coaching and supervision. I am an experienced therapist with a warm, caring, open and direct approach. I have an active, therapeutic practice focusing on solutions and strategies to understand and address personal issues and problems. I have a global outlook having worked with with people from all backgrounds and nationalities and lived in different countries. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore your life and what you need moving forward.

Hi, my name is Gemma and I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience in the NHS and independent practise. I specialise in supporting people who are experiencing psychological difficulties due to a physical health problem, perhaps from illness, injury, a medical problem or a long -term condition. I have particular interest and expertise in pain management, oncology, palliative care and women's health (e.g. peri-menopause, fertility).

I am a very experienced dual qualified Clinical Psychologist and Family & Couples Therapist with over 25 years experience, including working as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups, seeking to create a compassionate therapeutic space for my clients to work towards change, utilising my expertise in a number of different therapeutic modalities. As a Clinical Psychologist, I can integrate therapies with my knowledge of neurodiversity, neuropsychology and social cognition.

I offer confidential, client focused psychotherapy and counselling. Through dialogue and the shared exploration of your life, you may find relief from recurring problems, live your life more fully and realise your full potential. Therapy is a personal and individual process of change, as well as understanding. This is an opportunity to take time and space to think about yourself and the problems you may be facing. By talking to a trained psychotherapist you may find it easier to understand how past experiences, thought patterns and behaviour, or anxieties about the future are causing difficulties in your daily life.

CBT, EMDR, DBT, Schema Therapy You may be feeling low in mood or struggling with motivation and energy. Perhaps you are a worrier and this is causing you distress. Are you having trouble with social situations and this is interfering with your life? Perhaps you are experiencing panic attacks and would like not to. Maybe you are obsessing over things or are checking things until they feel 'right' and this is causing you anxiety. Are you worrying about your health, do you think you have a serious illness despite medical evidence to the contrary? Have you suffered from a trauma? CBT might be a good place to start.

Many people tend to suffer from anxiety, tension and anguish for too long before reaching for help. It takes courage to enter into therapy, and it takes courage to confront our problems. As a clinical psychologist, what I offer you is a calm environment in which, with total confidentiality, you will be able to deal with any difficulties you are experiencing with the professionalism that you deserve.
