Have a look at our therapists to see the services we offer. and click on ‘contact us’ to send us a message if you would like to see someone.

The sessions will last for 50-60 minutes, you will see your therapist on a weekly basis, usually at the same day and time. Therapy is an individual experience and there is no set way to follow. The length of time you will be in therapy will depend on what issues you want to concentrate on. At Oxford Counselling and Training Centre we offer unlimited therapy; you and the therapist will decide when you are ready to finish.

You may have an idea of the type of therapy you are seeking, in which case have a look at the therapist profiles and make your choice according to your requirements. We know that therapy jargon and therapeutic modalities can sometimes be confusing, and you may not know which therapy would be the best fit for you. If you are unsure, or your choice of therapist is fully booked we can allocate a therapist who we believe will be suitable for you and your presenting issues.

Face to face sessions are held at our offices. We can also offer online and telephone therapy. Please be aware that not all therapists offer all services. Please check their profiles for details. If you are unsure please do contact us directly.

As members of professional bodies, our therapists adhere to strict confidentiality rules. Therapy will be confidential as far as possible as we understand trust is a key component to the therapeutic relationship. There are some exceptions to strict confidentiality under certain circumstances. Your therapist will discuss this with you in the first session.

Each therapist has a different approach, some will offer specific assessments and others will provide this within the first session. Your therapist will always have your best interest in mind and the first session is an opportunity to see if you both feel you can work together
