Female Counselling in Oxford, ENG

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.

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?

Are you worried that you are not making full use of your talents and enjoying your one life? Do certain things seem to happen again and again or do you feel something is holding you back?

Living a life full of anxiety or depression or behaving in ways that trouble you is painful and restricting. It doesn't have to be that way.

Hello, I'm Jenny and I have over 12 years’ experience supporting clients through life's challenges. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family problems, early years trauma, exploring your identity or a whole host of other issues and I am here to listen and support you with an open mind. Through counselling you will have space to process your feelings, find restoration and healing, and be empowered to be resilient. I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds with all kinds of different experiences.

I provide a client -centred, compassionate and non-judgemental psychological therapy service, and my approach to therapeutic work is to be open and collaborative. Central to my approach is the importance of the therapeutic relationship; a safe and supportive space within which you can work on achieving positive change. I am trained and accredited in a range of evidence based therapeutic models and I draw on these to provide a therapy that is tailored to your individual needs and will focus on helping you to achieve your goals. I am particularly interested in helping people to recognise, connect to and develop their strengths.

Welcome, I offer a mindfulness-based Wholearth approach. This way is relational and grounded in embodied awareness, weaving together depth psychology, ecology and spirituality. We all experience suffering and feel challenged by life. This may express itself as; anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, overwhelm, relationship difficulties or a loss of orientation to what matters. In sessions we open to and gently investigate the suffering you are experiencing by turning towards your direct, bodily experience, without any agenda. In time life-limiting patterns of thinking and relating loosen, revealing more of your true, authentic being.

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.

As an experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor, I work with adults and young people in the areas of anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship breakdown, lifestyle change, bullying and low self-esteem, those coming out of abusive situations, especially involving narcissism, post-natal depression, birth trauma, grief and end-of-life care, gender and sexuality. I also work with people looking for a safe space to work through career challenges

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.

Hello, I am Joanne. I have been a family therapist in the NHS for over 20yrs. I have recently retired from working with young people and their families in Camhs and now I am offering family therapy privately. I have also worked as a family therapist in Adult Psychological Services. I work with families facing difficulties with mental health issues which are then impacting on communication/relationships within the family.

I support young people who may have learning or sensory processing difficulties, or difficulties with mood and self regulation. We work together to develop coping strategies, explore ways to help themselves calm or change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving. The aim is to be able to be kinder to ourselves, feel better and engage with the world.

A client is a family who are struggling with a teenager and having increasing difficulty in communication and high levels of conflict. The impact would be on all members of the family and how they handle this degree of stress. It might be that there is one family member who is most distressed or concerned by the situation and are the most motivated to seek help to resolve the difficulties.

Psychotherapy offers a unique experience. We will begin with a consultation phase which will give you an opportunity to find out about this type of therapy and working with me, by having an experience of what it will be like. This will help us with considering if this is the right way forward for you. Ideally we will meet a couple of times, and begin to understand the nature of some of your difficulties. We can discuss both the type of therapeutic approach and a plan for moving forward. If it looks like I might not be the right person to help you, then we can consider a referral to a different clinician or way of working.
