Ben Hill

Welcome to my private psychotherapy practice! Here I offer depth psychotherapy in Abingdon, Oxford and online. I offer a warm, supportive space into which you can bring your whole self. Together, we can explore what is difficult and grow through compassion and challenge. I began this work in 2016 and draw on over 10 years personal experience of helping people in difficulty, my own journey through therapy, and my experience of practising and teaching meditation. I am accredited by the UK Counsel of Psychotherapists and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. I hold a master's degree in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy. I am helped in my work by a senior supervising psychotherapist, and by the clinical team at the Karuna Institute. I carry full professional indemnity insurance and as part of following data protection law I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. I have also had an engaging career in technology where I've mentored teams and provided technical expertise across various sectors, including commerce, finance, education, and charity. Since the beginning of my practice, it's been my privileged to see people grow, heal and become more alive. To ask a question or arrange a free introductory meeting, please get in touch.

I specialise in helping people with a whole range of issues, particularly existential difficulties, transitions, and depression and anxiety.

The Psychotherapy I offer in Oxfordshire provides time and space to investigate any material that is important for you. We will gradually build a relationship, and using this as a vehicle we can explore how you relate to others and the world around you. As part of this work there will be an emphasis on present moment experience and an exploration of sensations, thoughts, emotions, words, and images that seem important. These experiences provide a gateway for you to become aware of habitual ways of seeing the world. This awareness is an important part in the process of change. To support you in this exploration I will endeavour to provide a safe, warm space and offer kind encouragement as your process unfolds. I will welcome whatever emerges in our work together and offer reflection if it feels appropriate. This work tends to be longer term, as it seeks to address deeply rooted tendencies and patterns and bring about lasting transformation.
