We are a membership organisation; a collective of like-minded counsellors who share an ethos around therapeutic services. We currently have office-based memberships or online memberships available. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any more therapists at this time as we are re-structuring the business, but hope to be able to offer places soon. Please stay in touch.
'I have been with Oxford Counselling Centre for two years and during that time I have successfully completed my counselling placement hours and set up in private practice. I have found OCC to be a very supportive, constructive and welcoming environment where I have had space to build my confidence and skills.'
