Counselling & Therapy Horsforth

‍Oak Grove Psychology offers professional online therapy and counselling for individuals in Horsforth and the surrounding areas of Leeds. Our HCPC-registered psychologists work with adults experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties, from anxiety and depression to the emotional impact of physical health conditions and neurodiversity.

We take a collaborative, compassionate approach to therapy, working with you to understand your individual circumstances and identify the support that will make the most meaningful difference to your life.

Counselling Horsforth

Counselling & therapy works best when it is shaped around the person, not the other way around. Our psychologists draw on an integrative range of evidence-based approaches, selecting the models and techniques most suited to your needs and goals rather than applying a fixed framework to every client.

Therapeutic approaches available include:

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – building self-compassion and reducing self-critical thinking that can keep people feeling stuck

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – developing psychological flexibility, helping you to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while continuing to live in line with your values

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be keeping you stuck

Depending on your goals, therapy may focus on practical strategies for managing current difficulties, or it may involve exploring longer-standing patterns and past experiences that continue to affect how you feel today.

What We Can Help With

Our psychologists in Horsforth have particular experience supporting individuals with both psychological and physical health concerns, recognising that emotional and physical wellbeing are closely connected. Areas we work with include:

• Anxiety: managing persistent worry, fear, and the physical symptoms that accompany them

• Depression and low mood: rebuilding a sense of energy, motivation, and connection with your life

• OCD: reducing the impact of intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns of behaviour

• Trauma and PTSD: working through difficult experiences in a safe, carefully paced way

• Eating disorders and difficulties with food: addressing a complex or distressing relationship with eating and body image

• Chronic illness, pain, and health conditions: supporting the emotional challenges that often accompany physical health difficulties, including conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and cancer diagnoses

• Relationship and interpersonal difficulties: improving communication, understanding patterns, and rebuilding connection

• Life transitions and adjustment: support through significant changes and difficult experiences, including divorce and retirement.

Psychologist Horsforth

Our psychologists bring extensive NHS and private practice experience to their work, with a depth of clinical knowledge that spans mental health services, specialist physical health teams, and weight management services. This breadth of background means we are well placed to support individuals whose needs do not fit neatly into a single category.

We also offer ADHD assessments for adults, alongside therapeutic support for those who have received a diagnosis or are exploring their neurodivergent traits and experiences.

Sessions are available both online and in person, making professional psychological support accessible to individuals across Horsforth, Headingley, Pudsey, and the wider Leeds area.
