Claudia Voss

Counselor

“I am a qualified and experienced humanistic counsellor and therapist, and offer, short-term and long-term/open ended one-to-one counselling to adults (18+). I take a holistic approach in understanding the unique experiences of my clients and their lives, the relationship with oneself, others, and the world around them.”

About Me

As an experienced humanistic counsellor, I offer a warm, safe space for adults (18+). We can explore your unique experiences together, whether short or long-term. My holistic approach helps you understand your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the world. This process fosters deeper insight into your life. It is a good match if you seek a clearer path forward. We can also make sense of complex feelings.

Approach

Gentle curiosity guides how I help you notice links between inner experience, relationships and everyday pressures, opening practical steps rather than labels. Sessions in Oxford or online, in English or German, move at the pace you set—sometimes focused, sometimes reflective—with brief check-ins between meetings when helpful. We use talk, attention to bodily signals and small experiments to untangle anxiety, grief, shame or identity questions and to build steadier self-understanding. This way of working suits adults seeking thoughtful, steady support to find clearer direction and calmer daily rhythms.
