The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre

"Your trauma is not who you are. It is something that was done to you or happened to you. Healing involves embracing and transforming the emotional pain so that out of that place of darkness can grow your own shimmering light"

Dr Claudia Herbert, founder and Clinical Director of The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre, is a specialist in the field of Trauma Psychology, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex Trauma, Personality Disorders, including Dissociative Personality Disorder (DID) and Post-Trauma Growth and the centre offers specialist assessment and treatment of all types of psychological reactions to trauma to clients of all ages.

Our client consultations take place in a safe, comfortable, non-clinical setting and our aim is to help clients develop strategies to build and strengthen their sense of safety and inner resources so that they can process, integrate or overcome their traumatic or stressful experiences. We work within a positive growth model and many of our clients have found that once they process their painful traumatic experiences they discover a new inner strength and feel more alive and able to engage in the positive aspects of life.
