We facilitate workshops, present at conferences and provide bespoke training to healthcare professionals and other professional groups such as solicitors or human resource managers wanting to understand more about specific psychological conditions and how to provide effective support.

Our workshops are tailored to the particular requirements and learning needs of each group. They embrace an interactive learning style allowing for a skilful blending of theory drawn from latest research findings, experiential exercises, reflective learning and clinical skills derived from our long-standing therapeutic experience. Our approach is integrative, compassionate and empowering with an emphasis on positive growth and development.

The Oxford Development Centre provides psychology workshops on topics related to a wide range of psychological conditions and issues relevant to practising psychologists or psychotherapists. Our specialism lies in working with all stress and trauma related problems, including very complex trauma presentations falling on various levels of the dissociative spectrum, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). We have in-depth clinical experience helping survivors recover from narcissistic and abusive relationships and can provide training in this area.

We are committed to facilitating therapists’ own personal development and growth processes, including aspects relating to their spiritual growth and we very much enjoy running experiential development or specialist supervision workshops for psychologists and psychotherapists. Our workshops are suitable for therapists, healthcare professionals, professional interest groups, healthcare and voluntary services and businesses and organisations. We also love to present about our approaches at conferences in workshops or keynote addresses.

If you are interested in organising a workshop with us or would like to invite us to a conference please contact us. We are happy to travel abroad to offer trainings or bespoke workshops that are tailored to your specific requirements.

"I want to thank you so much for helping me to recover and heal from my traumas over the last two years. I want to thank you for helping me to uncover and make sense of the feelings and emotions that have troubled and been a mystery to me for so many years. I want to thank you for teaching me how to tune into my body and to hear what it is saying to me, and how to give the parts of myself that are hurting attention, understanding, love and compassion."

"Therapy has changed my life. I never thought I could feel this good about life. I feel calm and joyful, instead of tense and afraid. I have the courage to stand up for myself and to set boundaries. Things that would cause me great distress now barely bother me, which I never thought could be possible. Charlie has helped me to work through the things that have happened to me and unlearn harmful behaviours."

"My treatment has included, amongst other things, EMDR, I have learned techniques that I can use, as and when I need, to help me through my day to day life and on in to the future. There was a stage when people asked me “can you see the light at the end of the tunnel”, I would always answer, “I’m not even at the tunnel yet’. I’ve now been through the tunnel. There is light at the end of it. Thank you Claudia. Life changing."

"Charlie is the best therapist I’ve seen by far. Initially, I was jaded about seeing a new therapist as I never felt a genuine connection with my prior ones but his warm, empathetic, and honest approach put me at ease very quickly. He has managed to help me be less reactive during conflict, process prior trauma and has ultimately given me the strength to leave my abusive relationship."

“The sessions I had with Claudia were absolutely transformational. Now, after many years, I can honestly say that the positive effects I gained are undiminished and I return almost daily to moments of profound insight and clarity. The experience has certainly made me a more contented person and I am convinced that I am a better father and a better husband."

"I recognise people and relationships in my life in a different way now and can see how their positive or negative energies affect me and my precious energy. I have learnt to be alone and very happy in my own company and often find myself craving for a some alone time when I have had a busy social week. This time last year, when I first came to you, this exact fear of loneliness was the cause of my panic attacks. I am so proud of how far I have come."

"At my lowest point in life, Claudia offered me that gift. The chance to be seen, heard and understood. I have been left with a deeper sense of who I am and an internal compass which helps me to better understand myself, learn to trust my intuition, live in a way which reflects my values and share the happiness I have found in myself with the world. I am left with gratitude that Claudia helped me and guided me along that journey."
