Counselling in OX1
Hello there - I can help if you're feeling low, lonely and/or are recovering from a mental health crisis. You might not be feeling quite yourself lately; are more irritable than usual, waking up with a heavy feeling, or finding that life feels flat and lacking in joy. When the things you usually rely on to lift your mood no longer seem to help, that's often a sign that something deeper needs attention. Talking through what’s going on in your life, along with the past experiences that have shaped you, helps free you up to make changes now that get you back on track.

I help people understand themselves, each other, and the relationships that matter most.
Relationships have a profound impact on our wellbeing. As human beings, we are made to relate – to connect, to grow together and to learn from one another. When our relationships are supportive, they can bring warmth, joy and a deep sense of belonging. When they become strained, they can leave us feeling hurt, misunderstood and alone.
Counselling offers the opportunity to slow things down, step back from familiar patterns, and begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface.

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!

Are you finding your marriage or relationship to be really hard right now? Is it full of tension, disappointment or heartache? Perhaps you are arguing more and you just don't look forward to spending time with your partner anymore. Do you wish you could feel the way you felt about them when you first decided to make a commitment to each other? I'm guessing you want to feel seen and heard, like you matter and like your thoughts and feelings matter, too. You don't just want to be going through the motions of being close, but want something that feels special and secure.

Hi I’m Mark,
I offer a warm, empathic and positive approach to support those facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood, or a sense of feeling stuck.
With a previous background in high-pressure roles and experience across a wide range of therapeutic techniques, I understand the challenges of both personal and professional life. I don’t believe in being a silent therapist—I actively engage, as I believe strong rapport is key. Together, we work toward balance, personal growth, and a deeper sense of harmony.

I predominantly use a combination of the following psychotherapeutic modalities: Internal family systems (IFS), Mindfulness based approaches, Gestalt Psychotherapy, & Somatic therapy.

I counsel Substance Abuse, Complex Trauma and Addiction related issues. We will talk with the purpose of becoming...... "better than well".
Addiction is everywhere, both Substance addiction and Process addiction, and they afflict millions. I deal with many types of addictions and inevitably with the underlying trauma found at their roots. Universally it presents with a kaleidoscope of personal and family suffering. It does not have to continue. Healing from complex trauma and addiction is an act of rebellion. It is the process of deciding that your past—no matter what it has involved —does not get the final say about your future.

Often, we’re so busy keeping the wheels turning that we don't notice the engine is stalling. I help men look 'under the bonnet' to understand what’s driving their stress, anger, or anxiety.
Whether it’s burnout from a high-pressure career or struggling with a sense of loss, I provide a down-to-earth, jargon-free space to figure things out. With 13 years of experience and a background in the corporate world, I understand that you want practical solutions, not just talk.

In my experience, we often come to therapy when we feel stuck in a way of living which has become increasingly difficult and painful to sustain. Perhaps you feel life is simply surviving not thriving; that relationships have become a prison or a battlefield; that you are lost, without purpose or passion; that the future seems more scary than exciting? If any of this resonates with you, my existential approach will help you explore and process any trauma in your past; pain in the present and anxiety about the future. Helping to bring the 'real you' out of hiding and find a more joyful, peaceful and authentic way of living.

You may seem to the world to be successful, sure of yourself, and in control whilst feeling increasingly isolated as you battle, perhaps in secret, with your fear, anxiety, loneliness or past. You may sense that part of you is hidden, maybe even from yourself, tripping you up when it matters most, that your life is not quite what you hoped or your choices are unfulfilling. You may wish to know your own heart, to be on your own side, and to be able engage authentically and meaningfully with your life. Working together we can listen out for your quiet inner voice, the one that already knows you and already knows how to be.

Hello, and thank you for reading my profile. Are you looking for long-term, in-depth, psychotherapy? Or do you have a particular issue you need to explore in counselling? Perhaps you're a qualified practitioner looking for a clinical supervisor. I could be that person for you, if we find we are a good fit. Whichever best describes you, my work is underpinned with an understanding of spirituality as a personal jorney into the nature of suffering. I think of spirituality as a pathway to self-development. Specifically, I work with mindfulness and Buddhist psychology to explore your current state of being, in mind, body and spirit.
