Joanna Oxford, BACP

Joanna Oxford is a compassionate, integrative therapist who welcomes people reaching out to talk about meaningful and often difficult life concerns. She brings experience from working within NHS mental health services and, since 2009, has embraced evolving therapeutic ideas to support people whose life experiences have affected their mental health. As an integral therapist she draws on a range of tools and approaches to create a tailored fit for each person she works with, and she treats the opportunity to share in someone’s inner world as a professional privilege.

Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Joanna blends cognitive-behavioural techniques with humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to shape therapy conversations and treatment plans around each client’s unique needs. She works collaboratively to tailor dialogue and goals so therapy is relevant and practical for the individual.

Joanna has expanded her practice to include online delivery and, over the last two years, has become confident offering email, telephone, and video counselling for both short- and long-term work. She is BACP registered - a credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is based in the United Kingdom. Joanna invites people to get in touch to explore their thoughts and concerns and to consider whether working together might help them move forward.
