Joanna Oxford

Joanna Oxford welcomes visitors to her profile and understands how daunting it can feel to begin talking with someone about important personal concerns. She aims to provide a listening ear and practical support as clients take that first step.

Joanna has experience working within NHS Mental Health Services and, in 2009, chose to pursue a therapeutic approach that incorporates newer ideas and concepts for supporting people whose life experiences have affected their mental health. She practises as an Integral Therapist, drawing on a range of tools and approaches to create a more tailored fit for each person she sees.

She approaches therapy with genuine interest in the issues people bring and values the privilege of being invited into another person’s inner world. Joanna recognises that seeking therapy is a courageous decision and brings that awareness into her sessions.

Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. Joanna’s work combines cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and psychodynamic methods, and she adapts dialogue and treatment plans to suit each client’s specific needs.

Over the last two years she has expanded her practice to include online technology to make therapy more accessible. Joanna is confident in offering email, telephone, and video counselling, and she has worked across various platforms to provide both short- and long-term counselling effectively. She invites people to reach out so they can explore any thoughts or concerns together.
