Choosing can be a little overwhelming as there are so many different types of therapies.

For this reason, you are welcome to make contact with a number of OUR THERAPISTS to chat with them and find out if you are a right fit.
Counselling and Psychotherapy differ primarily in the length of time that you spend working. Counselling tends to be focused on a particular issue over a shorter period of time. Psychotherapy can be a more in-depth process over a longer duration. The term ‘therapy’ is often used to describe both.
Each therapist charges differently and their fees are listed on their profile page. Once you have had an initial session and decided to continue the work, most therapists will ask for a weekly commitment. Some offer a low cost fee and others are willing to work fortnightly.
Psychotherapists do not prescribe anti-depressants. These will be prescribed by your GP or psychiatrist. Counsellors and therapists often work with people who are taking anti-depressants or support them as they come off anti-depressants.
At Oxford House Therapy every therapist is insured, qualified and registered with and/or a member of a professional association relevant to their particular field. For further information about each therapists’ individual training and qualifications please see their individual profiles.
This is dependent on what you bring to the therapy to work on and how you work in and between the sessions. You will able to get a clearer idea once you meet with a therapist and discuss the issues you are bringing. Whilst some therapies like CBT and counselling are more short-term, and limited to a number of sessions, as they focus on specific issues, Psychotherapy can be an open-ended contract allowing you to explore a wider variety of issues over a longer period of time and in greater depth. In either case your therapist will review with you over time to ensure you are getting what you need.
