Integrative Counsellor & Sex Therapist in Oxford — About Sherene
Sherene has been working as an integrative counsellor and sex therapist in Oxford since 2010 — more than 15 years of clinical practice spanning individual counselling, couples and relationship therapy, sex therapy, family counselling, and clinical supervision. That breadth is unusual. Most therapists in private practice focus on one or two areas; Sherene has developed genuine depth across all of them, each supported by specific qualifications.
She is an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.) and holds an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling (Level 4) from a BACP Accredited Course, alongside an Advanced Certificate in Relationship Therapy, a Certificate in Pastoral Care, and a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling. Her integrative approach draws on multiple therapeutic frameworks — adapted to the individual, couple, or family she is working with, and to what is most useful at each stage of the work.
Individual Counselling in Oxford
As an integrative counsellor in Oxford with over 15 years of practice, Sherene works with individuals on a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, sexual concerns, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions all feature regularly in her caseload — and her integrative framework allows her to draw on whatever approach is most appropriate for each person, rather than applying a single fixed model to every situation.
Her experience with diverse client backgrounds, cultural contexts, and presentations gives her counselling practice a flexibility and range that develops only through sustained clinical work over many years. Whether you are coming to counselling for the first time or returning after previous experience of therapy, Sherene’s approach adapts to where you are now.
Sex Therapy and Sexual Counselling in Oxford
Sherene is one of relatively few therapists in Oxford offering dedicated sex therapy as a named service — for individuals and for couples. Her Advanced Certificate in Relationship Therapy underpins this work alongside her 15 years of clinical experience, giving her a specialist grounding in the psychological dimensions of sexual difficulty that goes well beyond the general awareness most integrative counsellors hold.
Her sex therapy practice covers sexual dysfunction, low libido, the impact of past experiences on current sexual wellbeing, concerns about sexual identity or orientation, and the broader ways in which intimacy and connection can become complicated over time. She works with individuals and with couples, in person in Oxford and online across the UK, with the same careful, non-judgmental approach she brings to all her work.
Couples Counselling and Relationship Therapy in Oxford
Couples counselling with Sherene in Oxford — or online — is a collaborative process that works with both partners equally. She does not align with one person against the other; her role is to help you both understand what is happening between you and find a way forward that makes sense for your relationship.
Her work with couples covers communication breakdown, conflict, trust difficulties, intimacy and the gradual erosion of closeness, and the specific challenge of rebuilding after a breach of trust. She also offers pre-marital counselling for couples preparing for marriage — exploring communication patterns, differences in expectation, and the dynamics of a long-term partnership before difficulties arise rather than afterwards.
Family Counselling in Oxford
Family counselling with Sherene focuses on the relationships and communication patterns between family members — the dynamics that shape how a family functions and how conflict, change, and difficulty get expressed. She works with parent-child relationships, blended families navigating the particular pressures of step-parenting and co-parenting, and families facing significant transitions such as separation, divorce, or bereavement.
Please note: Sherene’s family counselling sessions are structured for a maximum of two clients at a time. Please discuss your family’s specific circumstances at the initial consultation.
Bereavement Counselling in Oxford
Sherene holds a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling and has worked with grief and loss across many different forms throughout her 15 years of practice in Oxford and online. Bereavement through death, pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and infertility all feature in her work, as do the less visible losses that accompany separation, divorce, and significant life change — losses that are real and often underacknowledged.
Her pastoral care training gives her an additional framework for working with grief that holds the existential and spiritual dimensions of loss alongside the psychological — useful for clients for whom questions of meaning, faith, and what endures are part of how they are processing what has happened.
Clinical Supervision in Oxford
Sherene has been offering clinical supervision to counsellors and therapists in Oxford and online for many years — working with practitioners at various career stages, from those in placement training through to experienced therapists in established private practice. Her supervision practice draws on her integrative training, her Advanced Certificate in Relationship Therapy, and the breadth of presentations she has worked with clinically since 2010.
Good supervision is not just case management — it is a reflective space in which a therapist’s own responses, patterns, and blind spots become visible. Sherene’s approach to supervision holds that seriously. She offers individual supervision face-to-face in Oxford and online to therapists across the UK, and is familiar with the particular pressures of private practice as well as organisational and charity settings.
Sessions with Sherene
Sherene is based in Oxford and offers face-to-face sessions locally and online and telephone sessions across the UK. Sessions are available Monday to Friday during the day and on Monday to Thursday evenings, with the last session at 9:00pm. There is no weekend availability.
Sherene works with individual adults, couples, and families on a private basis and also supports those referred through EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) arrangements and one-off organisational referrals. As part of Hope Therapy’s team of 90+ qualified counsellors, she is matched to clients where there is a strong therapeutic fit.
Sessions are 50 minutes. Sessions are confidential. There are limited circumstances in which this may need to change — for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or others. Sherene will explain these clearly before any work begins.
