I am a psychotherapist working in South Oxfordshire and I belong to a wider network of practitioners based both locally and in other areas. I offer both short and long term therapy as well as crisis management.
I trained with the Oxford School of Psychotherapy and Counselling for four and a half years and gained a Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling in 2006. Throughout this time students were required to undertake their own personal therapy.
I am supported in my practice with supervision both Individually and in groups and as part of my continued professional development I regularly attend training days.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Patricia Talmage BACP
The practitioner provides a safe and supportive place for you to explore difficult and painful aspects of your life without being judged or censored.
She/he will not give solutions to problems, but will help you to fully attend to your feelings and explore the values and meanings that determine – and limit – how you live your life.
The practitioner will do this by reflecting on what you bring to the session, and how he/she relates to you.
As you come to recognise and understand more about who and how you are, and celebrate your unique identity, the strength and support to change things in your outer life of relationships, family and work may follow.
A 50 minute session is £45.
Lower rates are available depending on circumstances.

Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy
Many people have a lot of support from others in their lives. However, this may reinforce existing ways of behaving and seeing things, because the needs of friends and family are so closely tied up with our own needs.
The key difference is that counselling and psychotherapy are entirely for you. It provides you with an opportunity to gain a more objective perspective on your life.
