Nick Luxmoore1 March 1956 - 9 November 2019
Our friend and colleague Nick Luxmoore, who died unexpectedly in November 2019, at the age of 63, was a school counsellor and psychotherapist. His career spanned four decades and included teaching English and Drama in schools and prisons, teaching counselling at Oxford Brookes University, running a youth centre and youth theatre, setting up and managing a young people's counselling and information service, working as a school counsellor and as a counsellor with young refugees and asylum seekers.
From September 2015, Nick focused on training, counselling supervision and writing. He published eleven books aimed at professionals working with young people and wrote regularly for Psychology Today, a quarterly column for BACP's Children, Young People & Families magazine. When Nick died, he had almost completed what will be his final book, entitled Chaos.
Nick was a highly respected colleague and friend of many people in schools and organisations in Oxfordshire and beyond, and a constant source of therapeutic support for the staff and pupils with whom he worked. His work was entirely dedicated to helping young people and the professionals who support them.
