Joanna Oxford, BACP

Joanna Oxford is a compassionate therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings more than 12 years of clinical experience to her practice. She began her professional journey working within NHS mental health services and, in 2009, committed to developing a therapeutic practice that embraces contemporary ideas about mental health and personal growth. As an integral practitioner she draws on a range of therapeutic tools to create a tailored approach that fits each person's unique situation.

Joanna values the privilege of being invited into another person's inner world and recognizes the courage it takes to seek support. Her style is warm and interactive, guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels when working with people. She integrates cognitive-behavioural and humanistic perspectives alongside psychodynamic insights to shape conversations and treatment plans that respond to individual needs. Joanna also lists formal clinical approaches she draws from, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She holds BACP, which indicates membership in a recognized professional counselling association.

Over recent years Joanna has expanded her work using online technology, offering video, phone, live chat, email, and text-based options to suit different preferences. She accepts new clients and works with people both in the UK and internationally, supporting issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, caregiving stress, ADHD, and related challenges.
