Do you experience intrusive thoughts that cause distress, a constant doubt over whether you have checked the door is locked, or a need to undertake compulsions to reduce anxiety? Does part of you realise that these thoughts and compulsions are unhelpful, yet you struggle to stop them? Do you worry you are ‘going mad’ due to this? These may be symptoms of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which can be treated successfully with therapy. We can work together to overcome this. Intrusive thoughts do not define you or mean you are 'bad', they are simply thoughts, and we will work to together to take away their power.

I have experiencing in working with people experiencing a range of mental health conditions and have a particular interest in treating OCD and anxiety related problems, however you do not need to have a diagnosis of any condition to benefit from therapy. We will work together using a range of tools and strategies to reduce the power of distressing thoughts.

I use a collaborative approach to work with clients. I may be the expert in CBT but you are the expert in you! We will work together to ensure that you are challenged, but supported. You may be asked to step outside your comfort zone at times, as this is necessary for change, but we will do this together, and you will work at your own pace.

Online Therapy Approach

Having previously worked in face to face environments, I realise that poor mental wellbeing  can make it difficult to leave home and attend therapy. Online therapy allows you to attend from the comfort of your own home, and allows for easier access around other commitments such as childcare or transport difficulties.
