Face to Face and Online Therapy with Clinical and Coaching Psychologists
Therapy with a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist in Oxford
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Therapy Tailored to You
At Psychology Oxford, we provide individualised therapy for children, teenagers, and adults. We understand that every person is unique, so the therapeutic process is tailored to your goals, needs, and circumstances. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioural challenges, or other difficulties, our team works with you to develop practical strategies to support a meaningful and fulfilling life.
What to Expect from Therapy
Therapy is an individual journey, and our approach is always collaborative. We regularly review progress to ensure your goals are being met. All treatments are time-limited and structured to balance effectiveness with your personal resources.
For children and young people, we use a whole-family approach, involving parents, siblings, or school staff when appropriate. This ensures support is coordinated across all areas of the child’s life.
During therapy, we aim to help you better understand your worries, dilemmas, and challenges. We work together to develop strategies that are practical, often helping not just with the presenting difficulty, but also with other areas of life.
Specialist Support for Sleep Difficulties
Some clients seek help for sleep-related problems. We are pleased to recommend Sleep Well Oxford, led by Dr Dimitri Gavriloff, a Clinical Psychologist specialising in behavioural sleep medicine. Using evidence-based cognitive-behavioural techniques, he helps children and adults improve sleep and wellbeing.
Fast Access to a Clinical Psychologist or ADHD Coach
We understand that waiting for therapy can be stressful. At Psychology Oxford, we can usually arrange an initial assessment within two weeks, so you can start receiving support quickly.
Confidentiality and Privacy
Your privacy is our priority. All sessions—whether in-person or online via Skype, FaceTime, or WhatsApp—are confidential. We follow GDPR requirements and are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Session notes are kept securely, and online sessions are conducted in private wherever possible. Confidentiality is only broken in cases of safety concerns, and we always discuss this with you first.
Initial Assessment: What Happens
Your first appointment allows us to get to know you and understand your concerns. For children, we speak with both the child and family, combining separate and joint sessions where appropriate. Please bring any reports or letters from other professionals to provide additional context.
We ask questions about your concerns and personal history to identify the most suitable approach. After the assessment, we provide a report summarising findings and recommended next steps. You are never obligated to continue therapy, and we will advise if a more suitable service exists elsewhere.
Session Length and Online Therapy Options
Assessments: Typically 90 minutes
Therapy Sessions: Typically 50 minutes
We offer flexible therapy options via Skype, FaceTime, or WhatsApp, and will guide you on how to set up online sessions. We recommend an initial in-person meeting where possible.
Cancelling or Ending Therapy
We ask for 48 hours notice for appointment cancellations for a full refund.
Therapy endings are usually mutually agreed, focusing on maintaining wellbeing beyond therapy. If you choose to end therapy early, you may do so with no obligation, provided you contact us outside the 24-hour cancellation period.
