About Us
Since our foundation, we have involved our team in developing a statement of our values. We live by these values and call them ‘The Boss’. This is because we refer to them with every decision and choice that we make. Our latest version, published in July 2023 has been re-imagined to encompass our latest evolution. When we moved into the heart of Banbury, into our new and refurbished home on Parsons Street in August 2022, we united all aspects of the business under one roof, the counselling and psychotherapy as well as the training and health and wellbeing support for business.
We provide life-affirming mental health support and gold standard counselling training, regardless of financial, health or life situation, ability, gender, sexuality, race, colour or culture.
Our clients and students are at the heart of everything we do. We stand for autonomy, choice and respect for all, and are proud of our people, who work tirelessly to provide a beautiful environment and a safe, boundaried, and ethical workplace.
We embody our commitment to sustainability and creativity by being accountable for our words and actions, rewarding curiosity and openness, and giving each-other honest feedback and encouragement.

Welcome from Our Managing Director
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, a loved one, or looking to develop your skills through training, we're delighted you're here.
Our therapy centre was created with one simple purpose: to provide a place where people feel safe, understood, and supported. We know that life can be challenging, and sometimes having the right person alongside you can make all the difference.
At the heart of our work is a belief in the power of human connection. We know that feeling heard, accepted, and understood can be transformative. Through meaningful relationships, compassionate support, and a genuine sense of belonging, we create spaces where growth, healing, and positive change can happen.
My team and I are passionate about creating a warm, professional environment where every individual is treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. We hope this website gives you a sense of who we are and how we can help.
We look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
Nicky Bacchus
