Counselling in OX4
You may be feeling troubled by symptoms of anxiety and depression, confused and conflicted in relationships or wanting to develop something within yourself in order to live a fuller and more satisfying life. Therapy can offer you a safe and positive space in which we can compassionately explore and work through areas of conflict and confusion. Facing painful and conflicted feelings together can undo anxiety and misery and free you to become who you really are as a person, and to get the most out of life.

Sometimes it’s hard to talk openly with friends or family, and you may feel trapped in your thoughts or emotions. I offer a safe, confidential space where we can explore what’s going on for you, help you make sense of your experience, and find new ways to understand and move forward.
I’m an integrative therapist, drawing from both person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This means we’ll work together at your pace, exploring your present challenges while also considering how past experiences may be influencing your current patterns.

You may have been considering therapy for a while but are hesitating or perhaps you've had previous experience and need something more. You feel something is not right but it is hard to think about or put into words? Living with high levels of anxiety, shame or fear for a prolonged period, can negatively affect the way we perceive ourselves and others. So with a compassionate approach, I work with most psychological difficulties, and have a special interest in anxiety and low mood, problematic family relationships, parenting and bereavement. I also work extensively with adolescents and welcome working with those of 16+years.

More recently gaining further experience in schools and colleges with adolescents and young people.

We can all find our lives get difficult as events and emotions come and go: these are often left unprocessed until we give ourselves time to think and talk about them. You may be very unhappy or may just be feeling some discontent, or at a crossroads, lacking motivation or direction. My aim is to help you explore all or any area of your life and work out what the future might hold. W H Auden, in his poem in memory of Sigmund Freud, referred to 'a world he changed / simply by looking back with no false regrets'; like him, having explored both the past and the present, I hope you will feel 'able to approach the Future as a friend'.

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.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, down, unmotivated? I understand that it can be difficult to know what to do next. I have experience of helping people make sense of these feelings, and find a path to improve their lives. Whether you are feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with traumatic events, it can sometimes feel like nobody understands, and there is no clear way forward. This can impact your life, and those you care about. I have worked with many people who feel like this, and there is a way forward. I offer in-person session in Oxford, short bus ride from the centre, and there is plenty of parking. Or sessions online.

Seeking Psychotherapy takes courage. There may be a particular issue or challenge that you are facing, or you may just be feeling that things are not quite right. Perhaps you feel that you are not fulfilling your potential and living the life you had hoped. There may be some long standing patterns of behaviour or recurring blocks that you keep coming up against. Core Process Psychotherapy provides compassionate holding for difficult feelings and offers us the opportunity to look for more space, clarity and balance and in our lives.

Hi
I am an IFS (internal family systems) psychotherapist specialising in Trauma, addictions and eating disorders. My initial training and work was using the Gestalt, TA and humanistic person centred approaches, these will still play a part in the work I will do with you as we get to know and help the parts wounded by life events.
These parts of you may send flashbacks, dreams or uncomfortable feelings from the depths of your mind and your history, or you may experience some behaviours that you just can't understand or seem to control at times, there is always a reason for this.
IFS therapy is a gentle but dynamic method
