Denise is a professional counsellor and a staff member of the University Counselling Service. She works one-to-one, mainly in person (although online counselling via Teams can be arranged if needed), and occasionally runs small groups and workshops on topics relevant to student life.

As a college counsellor, Denise works in the same way as the central University Counselling Service, offering confidential support based on a brief therapy model. The College Counsellor’s commitment to confidentiality is the same as that of the central service: except in cases of imminent risk, there is no formal or informal discussion of an individual student with any member of the College or Welfare team without the student’s express permission.

Denise can be contacted via email to arrange a one-to-one counselling appointment at: counsellor@regents.ox.ac.uk. Please note, Denise accesses emails on Wednesdays and Fridays.

You may also be aware that the University has a central counselling service, which you are encouraged to use. It offers a free and confidential service, with many options including individual and group sessions, workshops, and self-help guides. You can find more information here.
