The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre was founded in 1998 by the clinical director, Dr Claudia Herbert and is a part of The Oxford Development Centre Ltd. As the first private trauma service in Oxfordshire, The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre offers specialist, individually tailored psychological assessment and treatment of all stress- and trauma-related problems, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This includes traumas caused by accidents, assaults, disasters and catastrophes, as well as, complex traumas, such as childhood abuse. Additionally, we work with clients who may have been diagnosed as suffering from personality disorders, as well as, various dissociative problems, including Dissociative Personality Disorder (DID). We are also able to provide medico-legal assessment and treatment work, as well as, supervision and/or therapeutic treatment for fellow professionals. Our approach is collaborative and we use the latest evidence-based treatment methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Trauma Therapy (CBTT) and Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR), as recommended by the NICE guidelines. Our service is entirely confidential and there is usually no waiting list either for assessment or treatment, in order to ensure that clients may receive the help they need as quickly as possible. The Centre accepts direct self-referrals from clients; Solicitors; GPs; or other Health Professionals. We are also able to offer a service to Emergency workers and other agencies or organizations, as requested by their Occupational Health or Human Resources Departments. Additionally, The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre provides a mail order book service covering a wide range of professional and self-help material, related to trauma as well as other psychological problems, which may be accessed via the website. Age range: adults, adolescents and children.
