OTS-Oxford Therapy Centre

General information

Please support this new initiative in Oxfordshire by liking and sharing, so we can let people know we exist. And please like and share the free talks on the page - to let people know! Thanks!

OTS is a new organisation (2 years in development) I have set up in Oxfordshire with the help of many colleagues, providing appropriate, effective and affordable counselling & therapy options! We help people find the therapeutic approach, format and options that are best for them, whether it be one-to-one counselling or psychotherapy, a therapy group, couples therapy or free talks and workshops. As we are connected with a wide and diverse range of networks, we have no particular investment in which path people choose for themselves, and can therefore give unbiased tailored advice to people.
What kind of problems can you help me with?

What kind of problems can you help me with?

We recognise that life can be difficult for all of us from time to time. We can help with these difficulties whether it is a temporary crisis or life transition, ongoing emotional distress, the aftermath of trauma, the stresses and growing pains of life or the wish for a more fulfilling everyday experience; OTS can help to find an appropriate, effective and affordable therapeutic route for you.

Whether there is a clear diagnosis (like depression, anxiety, etc) or an unlabelled experience of emotional or mental pain, or just a ‘felt sense’ that 'things could be better'; whether it is an identified outer problem, a relationship difficulty or an inner sense of turmoil, confusion or emptiness, there are many more ways of addressing the psychological challenges of life than the average person knows about – OTS aims to make that accumulated richness of human understanding and wisdom available to everybody seeking help.

What do you offer? Which services do I need?

Assessment & Referral
If you are not sure what would be best for you, please contact us, and we can offer you an initial interview to explore what would work best for you:
which type and format of 1-1 therapy/counselling
which therapeutic approaches;
whether group or individual counselling/therapy;

Therapy Groups (both ongoing and time-limited) and self-development workshops in Oxford and Witney: working with anxiety, depression, self esteem, parenting, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, addictions, abuse etc.; for some, group therapy can be a better, more productive and/or more affordable option than individual therapy.

A Low-Cost Therapy & Counselling Service:

There are many people who can’t realistically afford the typical cost of individual therapy sessions with experienced practitioners, which typically range from £45 to £80, depending on the practitioner. If group therapy is not appropriate, we can offer low-cost therapy with advanced trainees (who are in regular supervision with us), with newly qualified practitioners and with experienced practitioners who offer some low cost places from £20 - £45 per session.

Free Talks & Workshops:

We run workshops on a regular basis in the evenings and weekend mornings. Our newsletters will update you on new events as they are advertised.

Educational & Experiential event topics include:

Knowing yourself & being effective; Emotional literacy; Relationship difficulties & couples; Getting what you want out of life; Is counselling /Psychotherapy for me?; Why isn’t my therapy working? etc.
Taster workshops for those thinking about group therapy.

Support, supervision and development groups:

For counsellors, therapists, life and business coaches and other helping professionals.
