For further details about me, my history and the way that I work, I invite you to visit my website at grahamfranciscounselling.co.uk.

For a more brief introduction and details of how I work, please see below:

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and therapist registered as a full member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), having trained and graduated from the Psychosynthesis Trust in London and undertaken further studies with Babette Rothchild, an author, teacher and trainer specialising in the field of trauma and PTSD since the early 1990's.  I have a particular interest in groups and also studied with the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) based in Oxford and have offered group therapy as part of my work.

I have a private practice, working from Chilton in South Oxon with rooms also  available in Wantage Town Centre with Abingdon, Didcot and Wallingford clustered within a 20 minute car journey time.

I work within a confidential, safe environment and work within my standard contract setting out what you can expect from me and what I need from you, including setting out session times, cancellation policy and breaks.  Session times are for 50 minutes.

I work with young adults (18 to 25), adults and older adults (65+).

I offer in person sessions from my home address and Wantage., Oxon.

On-line sessions are available through the platforms of Zoom, Skype and Teams.  Phone sessions are considered.

I also offer walk and talk sessions from my home address only.

I have been DBS checked and cleared.

I do not offer any alternative language to English.

The first session will include the completion of and assessment together and I will give you the opportunity to tell your story.  I will take notes at this stage but do not take notes during subsequent sessions.

I am generally available Monday to Friday , 8am to 6pm, with some evening session times available, please check with me.

I offer a Contemporary, Integrative, and Transpersonal  Clinical Supervision either on-line or in person at my home address, Monday to Friday in Chilton, Oxon and from 14 Newbury Street, Wantage, Oxon on a Wednesday.

I completed my post Graduate diploma training as a supervisor with the Psychosynthesis Trust, London in July 2024.

“A training which brings together transpersonal, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives; challenging and advancing therapeutic practice in a supervision context.” Psychosynthesis Trust, London.

I now offer supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors and therapists on an individual and group basis, to enhance, challenge and help grow your practices, within a safe, confidential and collaborative space, where clinical work can be explored. 

Our first session will include introductions, and set out how we will work together going forward.  The sessions will be for 50 minutes
