There have always been steady numbers of enquiries and I have never experienced any admin issues. Working at the Centre gives me an opportunity to get to know many great counsellors with various therapeutic experiences. Apart from regular meetings and social events, some of us meet up in the peer support group which I find extremely valuable. I really enjoy the friendly and inspiring atmosphere of the Centre.

Current counsellor, (April 2020)

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.
