About me

I'm Owen, a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years' experience in the NHS.

I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to help my clients deal with whatever brings them to therapy, aiming to empower them to develop skills that they can draw upon for the rest of their lives.

I am based in Oxford, where I trained, and I continue to work part-time in the NHS at the Churchill Hospital.

My experience

I've worked in a wide range of specialties with people from all walks of life struggling with different issues.

This has included common mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression, the emotional impact of physical health problems, particularly chronic fatigue, pain and HIV, and specialist criminal justice services.

I have worked in many settings, from community clinics to acute hospital wards, as well as online by video.

My breadth of experience has made me adept at tailoring my knowledge and skills to suit my clients' needs.

Evidence-based therapies

By virtue of my doctoral training and further professional development, I am skilled in using a range of evidence-based talking therapies - particularly:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
  • Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
  • Mindfulness-based approaches

I work in partnership with my clients to agree which therapeutic approach best suits their needs and their personal preferences, and I can integrate elements from multiple therapies when this is most likely to help.
