Welcome to Counselling Buckinghamshire
It can be very difficult to make sense of counselling and psychotherapy, especially at stressful and emotional times.
I have developed my website to try to make your experience as helpful and useful as possible. I hope you find it informative. There are blog posts, videos and lots of other information and links which are there to help you work out what you want to do next.
If after visiting the site you would like to discuss things further, then please contact me to arrange a free telephone consultation. I welcome your comments, feedback and ideas, and I look forward to hearing from you.
I am available via Signal, Zoom and FaceTime or at my consulting room near Oxford.
Thank you for visiting.
Regards
Toby Ingham

About me
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and counsellor working in Little Milton, Oxfordshire. I worked as a staff psychotherapist at the Nightingale Hospital and trained in the NHS at:
- St Barts’ Hospital, and the
- Homerton Hospital in London
Before that I trained at:
- Promis Addiction Centre
- Age Concern
I have 20 years experience of working with people dealing with depression, low mood, anxiety states, trauma, bereavement and addictions. This means that I have a lot of experience to offer you.
Short and long term work available
I work on both a short and long term basis with people who are trying to work through a variety of situations and problems. Sometimes relating to a specific event such as bereavement, divorce or redundancy, sometimes relating to a more general problem or behaviour. I am flexible, adaptable and experienced. My psychotherapy and counselling practice is based in Little Milton, Oxfordshire.
My practice is in a quiet, confidential, comfortable and peaceful setting and I have ample space for parking. Mobile: 07980 750376
