Counselling & Therapy Loughborough

‍At Oak Grove Psychology, we provide professional online therapy and counselling for individuals in Loughborough and the surrounding areas of Leicestershire. Our HCPC-registered clinical psychologists have extensive experience working with adults in both NHS and private settings, including those with complex and long-standing psychological difficulties.

We recognise that reaching out for support is not always straightforward. Our aim is to make that process as clear, accessible, and free of pressure as possible.

Psychologist Loughborough

Our psychologists begin by working collaboratively with you to develop a shared understanding of your difficulties, often referred to as a psychological formulation. Rather than applying a single model to every client, this formulation-led approach ensures that therapy is tailored specifically to your experiences, history, and goals before any treatment direction is agreed.

This means the therapeutic approaches we draw on will vary depending on what is most relevant and helpful for you. Models we work with include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – identifying and challenging unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to bring about meaningful change

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – building self-compassion and reducing the self-criticism that can keep people feeling stuck or ashamed

• EMDR Therapy – processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact

• Narrative Therapy – exploring and re-authoring the stories we tell about ourselves and our experiences in ways that feel more empowering

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – developing psychological flexibility and helping you live in line with your values

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective relationships

Therapist Loughborough

Our psychologists in Loughborough have a particular depth of experience working with complex and long-standing difficulties, including trauma, dissociation, and attachment-related concerns. We also work with individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Conditions, who may benefit from a psychologist who understands the unique challenges these can present. Areas we can help with include:

• Anxiety and panic: understanding and managing fear, avoidance, and the physical effects of anxiety

• Complex trauma, abuse, and PTSD: working through the lasting impact of difficult or distressing experiences, including dissociative symptoms

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

• Self-esteem & self-criticism: developing a kinder, more balanced relationship with yourself

• Stress and emotional wellbeing: managing the cumulative pressures of daily life before they become overwhelming

• Attachment difficulties: exploring how early relational experiences may be affecting your current emotions and relationships

• Autism Spectrum Conditions: support for adults navigating the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany neurodevelopmental differences

Counselling Loughborough

Our psychologists bring over two decades of clinical experience across adult mental health services, secondary care, and complex needs settings. This depth of experience means we are well placed to support individuals whose difficulties may not have responded to previous treatment, or who feel their needs are too complex for more generic counselling services.

Sessions are available online, with support accessible to individuals across Loughborough, Leicester, Nottingham, Melton Mowbray, and the wider East Midlands area.
