Counselling in Summertown, North Oxford

On Saturdays, I offer counselling and psychotherapy sessions in Summertown, Oxford OX2. 

The counselling clients who work well with me are often people who feel overwhelmed by all the different strands of life that they’re trying to juggle, or who are moving from one phase of life to another. They come to therapy because they feel out of their depth, anxious or deeply low and they’re seeking to explore existential and psycho-spiritual issues in order to find equilibrium and a way forward.

Periods of transition which may be difficult for you include retirement or a big change at work, bereavement or marriage or becoming single again – or any of the other many changes that can happen to all of us (to read more about life transitions, please see my recent blog posts). Often the need is for inner changes which keep pace with the outer changes in our lives, and questions arise which are to do with identity or the purpose of things – ‘Who am I now?’ and ‘What’s my life about now?’

If any of this resonates with you, do get in touch. 

(I’m only in Summertown on Saturdays, but I offer virtual sessions on other days of the week – or sometimes people need a hybrid way of working together. We can discuss this prior to starting counselling, or shift to this way of working if it seems appropriate.) 

A Note on Inclusion and Respect

This work is about you. I aim to offer a space where you feel safe, seen, and able to be fully yourself, whoever you are, whatever your background, identity, or history. In line with the Equality Act 2010 and the professional codes I follow, I welcome clients of all ages, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, faiths, and neurotypes, including those whose lives have been shaped by marginalisation or exclusion.

I keep questioning my own blind spots, my place in the culture, and how these might show up in our work. I’m committed to listening, learning, and being accountable, through reading, training, supervision, and hearing directly from clients like you when something feels off.
