Calm, compassionate counselling for women who give a great deal, and have lost touch with themselves
Welcome to Inner Glimmer Counselling with Beth.
I am an integrative counsellor based in Oxford, UK, offering in-person sessions in Oxford and online counselling across the UK.
I work with women who feel deeply, think carefully, and give generously to the people around them, and who have quietly lost themselves somewhere along the way. Many of the women I work with are navigating a significant life change: a relationship ending, a shift in their career, midlife arriving with questions they weren’t expecting, or children growing up and leaving. Others are carrying the weight of the past, including childhood wounds, difficult experiences, or long-held patterns that are no longer serving them. Sometimes both are true at once. Whatever has brought you here, something in you knows it’s time to stop and pay attention to yourself for once.
It is completely understandable that after years of caring for others professionally, personally, or both, you might feel exhausted, confused, or strangely empty. You may not even be sure what you want anymore. I can help you, gently and without pressure, begin to work that out.
I offer a grounding, reflective space where your nervous system can settle and you can start to make sense of what’s going on. My counselling is trauma-informed, which means I understand that many of the patterns holding you back were formed long before now, and I’ll work with you at a pace that feels safe.
I also work with helping professionals: nurses, therapists, social workers, teachers, and others in caring roles, who are quietly struggling beneath the surface. I have a particular interest in supporting those carrying grief or loss from their work: the experiences that accumulate and don’t always get acknowledged. This is work I care about deeply.
I also offer EMDR therapy for trauma and distressing experiences, and online therapeutic writing workshops for those who find meaning through words.
I am an Accredited Professional Registrant with the NCPS.
You don’t have to keep holding all of this alone. You deserve the same quality of care you give to everyone else.
