Counselling in OX1

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oxford and am registered with the HCPC. I have worked with a range of complex emotional needs with diagnoses such as PTSD, complex PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety disorders i.e OCD, phobias, GAD, depression, eating disorders, and mental health difficulties associated with neuro-developmental disorders (ASC & ADHD). I have (and still actively) worked in the NHS since 2017 across several settings including psychiatric inpatient wards, health psychology settings, adult ADHD and autism services, adult mental health teams and eating disorder services.

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.

John-Henry graduated with distinction from Oxford University with an MSt in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. 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. He works privately in Oxford and in a clinic on Harley Street in London. He also offers online sessions, which can be combined with face to face meetings at your convenience.

Are you ready to feel different? Maybe you've had some big changes in your life that have left you feeling unsettled or maybe you're fed up with things staying the same and you're ready to make some changes. During therapy you will begin to explore and understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences providing you with valuable insight and leaving you empowered and ready to make positive changes in your life.

It might be that you have a clear sense of the issues you'd like to explore or just a sense that something is not quite right - both are excellent starting points.Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, not who they should be. For some, getting a stronger sense of self is the first step in the therapy. Partly my work is also with people who have experienced one or more traumatic events, including with a PTSD diagnosis - our focus then is on processing the trauma therapeutically to reduce the unwanted symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Do you feel stuck in your work or your life? Are you in conflict with others, verbal or silent, can't get promoted or change roles, don't feel seen or understood? Is there a gap between who you are and who you want to be? A gap between you on the outside and on the inside? Into that gap can come anxiety and depression, confusion, low self esteem, self loathing and fear. As an executive coach and psychotherapist we can change this. I am the only psychodynamic psychotherapist to open sessions with an optional 3 minute guided mindfulness breathing space to deepen your experience and use the session most effectively.

If you are casting around for a source of help to see you through what seems like a bewildering or difficult time, or you feel ready for a voyage towards self discovery I would like to offer a space where you can safely explore things beneath the surface.

Hello! Thank you for checking my profile. I know that It’s really difficult to find the right therapist. We can have a brief chat on the phone or else arrange an initial assessment appointment and see how we get on together. I am an integrative Psychotherapist. I can see you for psychotherapy for any issues and problems in your life which are stopping you from living it to the full . I am also a dietician and can advise on healthy eating and nutrition. We can agree on nutritional targets based on tailor-made meal plan for you, if this is what you require .

Whether you are just starting out in life or an elite performer wanting to achieve the last 1%, you can learn practical and effective ways to get unstuck.

Adults, Children, couples and families. Suffering anxiety, depression, effects of trauma or just want to review some difficult years?

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!

Many people who seek counselling or psychotherapy have found themselves experiencing relationship problems or emotional difficulties, however, therapy can also benefit those who are curious about themselves and wish to engage in therapy for personal growth.

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.

Hello, I am the Lead Psychologist at Oxford Mind & Body, where I work alongside a great group of professionals offering therapy to those aged 16 years and older.

We also specialise in the treatment of eating disorders and their co-morbidities. We appreciate the uniqueness of our clients and we aim to tailor our skills to suit our clients' needs.

I am a Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), trained by Marisa Peer, as well as an experienced medical doctor and life and careers coach. I have worked in the NHS and private sector for many years. I would be delighted to help you overcome whatever is causing you pain and holding you back from being your being your best self. I offer RTT alone, or in combination with coaching for further great results, putting your new understanding from RTT into practice in your relationships, work and home life.

You’d like to feel better about yourself, your life, your future. You’ve probably tried several approaches to help yourself, but you’ve run out of ideas. You know that change is necessary. You want to do the work. Perhaps right now you’re just too ill, overwhelmed or exhausted to know what to do next. You know that you need a collaborator, Someone who will listen carefully to you. Someone who will support you while you figure it all out. Someone who will teach you new skills, if necessary. Someone who will help you to explore new ways of being in the world. Someone who will apply the best available science to your unique situation.

Our minds can be confusing places at times. Especially when it comes to issues of mental health. It may feel hard to talk about certain things with friends and loved ones for many reasons, and it can feel like there’s no way to escape these problems. I can offer you a safe, confidential space to help you make more sense of your situation, help you throw your problems into a new light and perhaps give you a new perspective on what’s going on for you. I work in a holistic way, which takes into account you as a whole person and not just a problem that needs to be treated.
