About Joanna Oxford
Joanna Oxford is a BACP-registered therapist with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She has worked within NHS Mental Health Services and, from 2009, committed to a therapeutic practice that embraces updated ideas and flexible ways of working to meet people where they are.
As an integral therapist, Joanna draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful, and she seeks to work without stigmatizing labels. Joanna combines cognitive-behavioural techniques, humanistic principles, and psychodynamic understanding to shape sessions and treatment plans that reflect the individual’s circumstances and goals.
Joanna explains that BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and she maintains practice consistent with those professional standards. In recent years she has extended her practice to include online delivery; she is experienced in telephone, email, video counselling, and in-app messaging, and has provided both short-term and longer-term therapy through these formats. Joanna welcomes clients who are ready to explore their thoughts and concerns and works collaboratively to identify practical ways forward.

Integrative therapeutic approaches and online care with Joanna Oxford
Joanna uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients explore patterns of thinking and behaviour and develop practical ways to live in line with their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, or life transitions. CBT addresses unhelpful thought patterns and teaches skills to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach is useful for relationship challenges, intimacy issues, grief, and difficulties rooted in attachment disruptions. Joanna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their situation and will adapt the approach as the work progresses.
Online therapy with Joanna is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules, location, and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in consistent therapeutic work without geographic constraints, and Joanna and other registered professionals can adjust session format and pacing to suit individual needs.
