The Practice Rooms in Oxford is situated in the heart of Summertown. A stone's throw away from Banbury Road allows ease of access by public transport or local car parks. Spread across two buildings with a private courtyard entrance, the centre includes The Old Bakehouse where the original ovens are now a stunning centerpiece at the entrance.

We have 17 beautiful therapy rooms: 7 in the front building, 7 in The Old Bakehouse, and 3 with private entrances at the back of the building.

All rooms have been decorated to a high standard, with rooms suited to talking therapies, couch-based therapies, and small groups. Two rooms on the ground floor also have sinks within the rooms along with treatment couches.

Our Philosophy

The vision behind The Practice Rooms is the desire to put psychotherapists, counsellors, complementary and holistic therapists where we believe we should be – in beautiful rooms in prime, visible locations in an environment that reflects the serious commitment we make hour after hour to the health and wellbeing of our clients. We support new practitioners with low start-up costs and a roving, open booking system for flexibility to build a client base; we also give established practitioners an affordable and secure place to work. We also believe that we thrive best when working as a community, however, we might choose to understand that. Getting to know and trust colleagues in an environment that nurtures mutually supportive relationships and offers clients the possibility of a multi-disciplinary approach to their issues has to be a positive force for all concerned.
