I was so nervous going to my first appointment but Alex made me feel at ease straight away. After resisting CBT for years, I can honestly say it was one of the best things I could have done for my mental health (apart from laying on a tropical beach 😆) Alex enabled me to see thing a different way and helped me learn coping strategies for when life throws rubbish at you.
I picked Alex because she is a dog lover like me and I think having a common interest helped me, she also has a fun sense of humour which helped relax me. Thank you Alex 😌

Naomi consistently makes me feel comfortable and reassured and goes out of her way to help outside of the issues I originally came to her with using her knowledge and experience to help recognise underlying problems and find solutions.

I’ve been working with Mrs Bonnie Williams for a while now, and my experience today was as incredible as all my other sessions.

Bonnie is cordial, warm, and highly professional and has helped me to understand and utilise new thinking patterns, skills and tools which has made a big difference in my life.

Thank you Bonnie!

Highly recommend Oxford CBT. Deepika was incredibly helpful when it came to invoices for insurance, and changing between in-person and online sessions. My weekly sessions with Ellie were always positive, she always validated my feelings and provided me with techniques to reach my therapy goals. She is brilliant, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for help.

Can't speak highly enough of Oxford CBT. The booking/rearrangement process has been updated to be really easy, and the flexibility to be online or in-person is invaluable. I worked on my struggles with depression and anxiety with Ellen and then more extensively with Ellie and she helped me so much, even just session-to-session she's so friendly and warm and validating, I could laugh with her just as often as I could cry. When I started CBT I wasn't convinced that it would work but with the patience of Ellen and Ellie, I'm doing so much better. Thank you so much to them and to Oxford CBT.

It was very easy to book sessions. Jennifer was a great therapist, every session with her was great and really helped me. She was kind and caring and knowledgeable. All the things she gave me to help, worked, and I still use them now when I need to. CBT really helped me and I would highly recommend Oxford CBT.

I have just completed a final phase of therapy. It has been hard work but so beneficial. The schema therapy knowledge that Tom used has given me a much better insight into how my childhood has impacted me as an adult and given me freedom from the past and the ability to move on. Tom's unfailing encouragement and empathy kept me going on the difficult journey. I would recommend to anyone.

I started doing weekly CBT sessions with Ellie in September 2020 at a time when I was suffering badly from insomnia and was looking for help dealing with anxiety and racing thoughts at night. Although we never met in person but only over Zoom, I felt as though Ellie and I had some really good conversations. She's an immensely sympathetic and caring person and she also has a good sense of humour. She really tried hard to help me talk through my problems and to give me CBT-based strategies for dealing with stress. I'd recommend her to anyone.

I had my therapy sessions with Adam Lacey. He is just amazing. He has empowered me to be more in touch with myself and more true to my values. He has helped me to understand the matrix through which I see the world, in order to change it accordingly to what I really believe in and to what I find more useful in this moment of my life. He has helped to develop my compassionate side both towards myself and towards others. We’ve worked together on self criticism and self confidence. I felt Adam kept adapting the sessions according to my needs, mixing up different styles and supporting me holistically. I also brought to him themes that might be less common for therapists (such as polyamory) and he has made me feel welcomed, safe and supported.

Skype sessions worked perfectly fine. Adam has been able to create a connection and make me feel completely comfortable with the online sessions.

Why Choose Us?

Full Diagnostic Assessment

By choosing Oxford CBT you get the benefit of pre-screenings for ADHD and autism.

This ensures you are guided toward the appropriate path for a full assessment or, in some cases, to determine if a full assessment is unnecessary. 

This approach promotes better practice, reduces unnecessary costs when an assessment isn’t required, and ensures a quality-focused assessment and support plan.

Adapted CBT for Autism and ADHD

At Oxford CBT, we offer Adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a specialised approach tailored for individuals with autism and ADHD. Our clinicians are extensively trained in understanding the unique ways these conditions impact thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. 

This means clients receive personalised support that considers their specific needs, helping them develop practical coping strategies in a comfortable and supportive environment. Adapted CBT ensures that therapy is accessible, relatable, and effective for those with neurodiverse experiences.

Quick Access to Private Autism Assessment and Supportive Care

Oxford CBT provides private autism assessments for people of all ages, offering timely support to help you and your family gain clarity and guidance through a professional autism diagnosis and personalised recommendations. Our services are designed to help you understand the specific needs of your child or yourself, ensuring that you have the right information and resources to navigate the next steps confidently.

Understanding Autism and Autism Assessments

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of conditions that affect social interactions, behaviour, and learning. Autism represents a different way of experiencing the world and is not something to be “cured.” However, with effective autism assessments and support, autistic individuals—whether children or adults—can thrive with the right interventions tailored to their unique strengths and difficulties.

Why Choose Oxford CBT for Private Autism Assessments in Bicester?

Compassionate and Experienced Autism Assessment

Led by Clinical Director Tom Murfitt, Oxford CBT’s team prioritises a supportive and comfortable environment throughout the autism assessment process. Our experienced clinicians are committed to providing inclusive services where every person feels respected and understood.

Inclusive and Accessible Private Autism Assessments

Oxford CBT welcomes people from all backgrounds, offering flexible options for each autism assessment to meet individual needs. Whether online or in-person, our assessments provide a safe, welcoming setting that fosters openness and comfort for children and adults alike.

Evidence-Based Autism Diagnosis and Recommendations

Our clinicians utilise the latest research-backed methods and tools to deliver an accurate autism diagnosis and actionable recommendations. Through our in-depth assessments, we aim to provide a clear understanding of your or your child’s needs and strengths, empowering families with the information they need to provide effective support in managing daily challenges and promoting overall health and well-being.

What to Expect During Your Private Autism Assessment

Oxford CBT’s private autism assessments begin with a 90-minute consultation tailored to explore the specific needs and behaviours of each person, whether an adult or a child. This initial session focuses on understanding communication, social interactions, and any unique difficulties that may impact day-to-day life at home, school, or in other settings.

Our clinicians work closely with families to gather essential information through well-established screening tools, such as:

  • CAST – used for autism screening in children
  • ASSQ – helpful for identifying traits of high-functioning autism
  • RCADS – a tool for evaluating anxiety and depression levels

 

If indicators of autism are identified during this consultation, further autism assessments will be recommended to provide a comprehensive understanding of individual needs.

Comprehensive Report and Tailored Recommendations

Upon completion, a detailed report summarises the diagnosis findings and provides specific recommendations for ongoing support. This includes practical strategies, resources, and potential next steps to help you or your child manage difficulties effectively and thrive, whether at home, school, or beyond.

Please note: One aspect of the autism assessment will need to be completed face-to-face. If you have any concerns about this please call us on tel:01865-920077 or email contact@oxfordcbt.co.uk
