Corporate & Workplace
Mental health in the workplace includes everything from the most common symptoms of stress and anxiety, all the way to more complex mental health conditions, such as depression, bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. 1 in 4 people will experience mental health issues each year and 9 out of 10 people that suffer from mental health will face some kind of stigma or discrimination.

Mental Health First Aid
You know how to bandage a cut, treat a burn or call for help when someone needs first aid. But would you know what to do if that person were experiencing mentally ill health? Mental Health First Aid teaches you what to look for, do and say so you can do the right thing at the right time.

What our patients have to say
April, 2025
I wanted to thank you and my therapist Ellie, for all your support during the last years; it was priceless to have your guidance and wisdom through these difficult times. I am so thankful to have found you.
Feb, 2025
I just want to say thank you for everything over the years. You have been so helpful in unpicking the way I think and in understanding myself and the way I do things, I think you're great at what you do and I'd love to do something similar in the future.

Working with Chris over the past 10 sessions has been a very positive, educational and thought provoking process. Chris has a very calming demeanour which allowed me to comfortably open up and discuss my anxiety. He was able to dissect the issues and provide tailored solutions and ideas that allowed me to understand what was ultimately causing this anxiety and then how to deal with it moving forward. I feel like i have a much better understanding of anxiety, I am generally calmer day to day and have mechanisms in place to help deal with it in the future. Thank you again Chris.

Sophia continues to be a huge support to our daughter. She is incredibly warm and caring and has an infectious laugh that makes our daughter feel very special. They have a fantastic relationship that has helped our daughter at her lowest.

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.

Highly recommend Oxford CBT... 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 & to Oxford CBT.

I have just completed a series of CBT sessions with Chris Bowers. I found my sessions with Chris incredibly helpful. He dealt well with the fact I was very nervous about the sessions and was supportive. He delivered tailored advice that has genuinely improved my life. I would strongly recommend him as a therapist.

Dan Drew was an outstanding therapist. He was patient, caring and empathetic. Dan supported me throughout my journey with OCD and helped me the best he could in times where I was in crisis. He was always there to listen. Always. I’ll never forget the support he has given me. He is outstanding.

Initially I was apprehensive about being allocated a male therapist when I had requested a female one. However I quickly felt very comfortable working with David and became confident that he would be able to help me with my problems. I found each session really useful. I enjoyed studying the handouts and suggested reading material as well as carrying out the practical exercises designed to build my confidence.
My CBT sessions with David more than filled my expectations. My anxieties and resulting insomnia are greatly reduced and I believe I have the tools to deal with any relapses.

I feel that the interaction my young daughter had with Oxford CBT was extremely positive. Oxford CBT handled my daughters appointments with such passion and empathy, that my daughter really looked forward to each appointment. Appointments were made to feel informal, casual and enjoyable. All the while my daughter was coming away with techniques to help her when she needed it. I am thoroughly impressed by the content and approach of Oxford CBT and would highly recommend their services to anyone who may be considering it.

I had no experience of any sort of therapy and had no idea how CBT worked. I was allocated Nikki Newhouse and even told her that if CBT was "airy fairy" I wouldn't stick with it! But I found Nikki very approachable and it didn't take me long to get my head around what it was all about. On the whole I found my sessions were very useful and as well as helping me to know how to deal with my fears they reaffirmed who I am. So I came away a happy bunny!

Being over 70, and having had to deal with constant anxiety from childhood, I was really embarrassed and ashamed that at my advanced age I had to admit that I needed help as the problem suddenly escalated to such an extent that I became unable to leave the house. After a couple of months I knew that if I didn’t seek help this was how the rest of my life was going to be! With a great deal of trepidation I contacted Oxford CBT and am so very relieved that I did, as along the whole journey from start to finish I was treated with respect, kindness and understanding by everyone I came into contact with, especially my Therapist. Katharine encouraged me to start from the beginning and speak about my life as well as all the things that had caused me to be anxious along the way. During our discussions over the weeks she showed me how to alter my way of thinking with regard to my many anxieties, and also shared some practical ideas to help me cope with them. All this was done, as I said before, with respect, kindness and understanding. Thanks to Katharine I can now leave the house whenever I want, and go wherever I want, whilst being reassured that if I should become anxious I know how to control it. At last I have my life back - thank you so much.

I was very reluctant to talk about my problems/insecurities with a total stranger, however, after the first session with Chris, I felt huge relief and hope. I immediately booked my weekly sessions and was looking forward to all of them. My therapist was insightful, intelligent and well-prepared for each session. I didn’t see the results immediately (which I was told beforehand) but at the end, together with Chris, I could “kill” my anxieties and start living my life. Throughout the process I was given homework (usually uncomfortable yet necessary) and was taught some techniques that helped me deal with my anxieties. I attended some more additional sessions just to support what we had already achieved and now it is safe for me to say that I don’t need to see Chris every week. Everyone around saw the changes in me but most importantly, I saw it myself. Now I am spending all my energy on rebuilding my career and spending time with my family.
June, 2022
I struggle with a number of mental health difficulties. Having had some CBT in the past, I decided to continue my treatment with a more long-term provider. Oxford CBT were exceptionally helpful and very efficient in getting me set up with a therapist and in treatment. My therapist is just brilliant, I’m so grateful for the help she’s given me. I’m still in treatment but the changes I’ve noticed within myself are huge, and the progress is really noticeable.
