About Me

I’m Beth, an integrative counsellor based in Oxford. I offer in-person counselling in Oxford and online therapy across the UK.

Since 2018, I’ve worked with women who feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves, often through long-standing patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or adaptation.

Many of the women I work with learned early in life that being loved, accepted, or emotionally safe meant shrinking, striving, shape-shifting, or putting their own needs to one side.

Over time, this can leave you anxious, burnt out, unsure of yourself, or feeling as though your life no longer fully feels like your own.

If you’re at a point where you want to understand yourself more deeply, or begin relating to yourself differently, I’d be glad to work alongside you.

My approach

I offer counselling in a way that is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in your autonomy. This is your space, and we work at a pace that feels right for you.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of approaches depending on your personality, history, and what feels most helpful. My focus is on helping you understand the patterns that have shaped you, while also supporting meaningful and lasting change.

My work is trauma-informed, which means I recognise that many of the difficulties you may be experiencing were shaped long before now. We work with care and sensitivity, supporting both understanding and change over time.

We can explore early relationships and inner child themes, how they continue to shape your life and the things that you would like to change.

Alongside talking therapy, I also work with the body as well as the mind. This may include helping you notice and settle your nervous system, and exploring how emotions are held physically as well as psychologically.

Where helpful, I may bring in creativity and metaphor, using imagery, art, story, or therapeutic writing to support insight and expression.

I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), which can support the processing of trauma, distressing experiences, and long-held beliefs.

This work is not about quick fixes, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and creating change that feels sustainable.

Working together

I see counselling as a genuinely collaborative process. Warmth, steadiness, and compassion are central to how I work, and I take seriously the trust it takes to talk about what matters most.

I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, depending on your needs. Some people come for a focused piece of work, while others choose to work together more deeply over time.
