ONLINE AND FACE TO FACE COUNSELLING AND EMDR, OXFORD (OX4)

Trauma informed counselling, with Beth, for workplace difficulties, adversity and uncertainty. You don't have to go it alone anymore.

Work can shape so much of who we are: our confidence, our relationships, our sense of meaning. When something goes wrong there, it can wound us deeply.


Perhaps you’ve always worked in caring or service roles and now feel depleted, questioning whether you can keep giving.

Maybe you’ve experienced difficult workplace dynamics, bullying, burnout, or redundancy that’s left you anxious, hypervigilant, or doubting yourself.

It could be that you suspect there are patterns from the past holding you back, or you may see similar patterns in other areas of your life too.

Or you might simply feel lost — unsure what’s next, but certain that something has to change.


As a trauma-informed counsellor, I offer a space to gently explore how work and identity converge. Together, we can begin to:


  • Understand the emotional impact of what you’ve been through
  • Reconnect with your values and confidence
  • Unlearn survival patterns that no longer serve you
  • Discover what 'meaningful work' feels like for you


Therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself, support you to find your voice (and your calm!), and help you begin to imagine new possibilities.


I mainly work online with clients across the UK and have a small number of in-person sessions available in Oxford.


If this speaks to you, you’re very welcome to get in touch for an initial chat.

I'm Beth at Nautilus Counselling

Welcome to Nautilus Counselling.


I'm Beth and I'm passionate about helping you find your 'happy' or your 'mojo' (whatever you would like to call it!) at work. We spend a lot of time at there so for your wellbeing and quality of life it is important to find contentment rather than grief, confusion and anxiety.

I've been in some dark places in my working life and I have learned that it doesn't have to be that way. With small steps it is possible to enjoy a more authentic and meaningful working life. People used to tell me that 'you just have to get on with it, no one likes their job'. I'm here to tell you this isn't the case at all and we can work through it together.

Contact me for a free fifteen minute call so we can get to know each other and you can ask any questions you might have.

READ MORE ABOUT ME

Working With Me

My approach involves exploring and supporting all the parts of you, including your current self who might feel exhausted and desperate, as well as your inner child who may need to be heard for a change. I also recognise the role the body plays in healing and that bringing together mind and body can be a life-changing act. Ways that I can support you include:

Simply talking through what has happened and the feelings involved.

Working creatively including art, writing, visualisation, and metaphor.

I can help you work towards living in the present rather than in the past or future.

I can support you to process difficult emotions that are stored in the body.

Inner child work so that your inner child finally feels listened to and supported.

Identifying and changing your patterns in family and work life.

I use Eye Movement, Desensitisation and Regulation Therapy (EMDR). This is a method of bringing together past, present and future to help process memories. I would not use this type of therapy unless we had discussed it in advance. Please contact me if you have any questions about this therapy.

Online Counselling and Face-to-Face Counselling in Oxford, OX4

In addition to some face-to-face sessions in OX4, I offer online counselling. Online sessions are available via Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp Video and Facetime, allowing for greater flexibility, reaching clients from the surrounding areas of Marston, Cowley, Wood Farm, Sandhills, Risinghurst, Wheatley, Summertown and across the UK.

Online counselling can work very well for many people as it is more convenient than face to face (with no travel time or parking to worry about!) it can be very helpful for you to be in the comfort of your own home, particularly when talking about difficult subjects. This can even mean that the work evolves more quickly than in face to face sessions.
