Services
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps manage problems by changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Our therapists work collaboratively to develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and other conditions. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and implementing behavioural changes to improve mental wellbeing through structured, goal-oriented approaches.
DBT
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy combines acceptance and change strategies to address emotional regulation challenges. Specialised for complex needs like borderline personality disorder, DBT teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Our clinicians deliver this evidence-based approach through individual and group sessions to foster adaptive coping mechanisms.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing treats trauma-related conditions by processing distressing memories. Using bilateral stimulation techniques, EMDR helps reframe traumatic experiences to reduce their psychological impact. Our trained therapists use this innovative approach for PTSD and anxiety disorders with measurable symptom reduction.
CBT-E
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders targets disordered eating patterns through tailored interventions. Our specialists address underlying thought processes maintaining anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorders using structured sessions focused on normalising eating behaviours and improving body image perception.
Online Therapy
Flexible online therapy delivers the same evidence-based treatments through secure video platforms. Ideal for clients seeking convenience without compromising quality, these sessions maintain therapeutic effectiveness for anxiety, depression, and stress management while removing geographical barriers to access care.

By attending the eight week mindfulness course it taught me to pay more attention to the present moment. I can better recognise unhelpful thought processes before they take hold now by using the various techniques that are explained and the different meditation practices taught throughout the course. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in improving their mental wellbeing. The course was very well structured and it was great to meet new people in a friendly environment.

I've just completed an 8 week mindfulness course with Oxford CBT (6 stars). Tom led the sessions helping participants develop great meditation techniques and habits and understand how our minds work. At the end of every week you leave with a sense of calm and wellbeing which with practice can be replicated in the outside world. Loved it!

Managed to get an appointment very quickly. Easily accessible. Lovely counsellor who made me feel at ease. Only three sessions in but feeling better already. All payments dealt with separately. Would recommend CBT to anyone feeling low.
