I’m a Certified Practising Counsellor specialising in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My work is informed by both clinical training and lived experience of obsessive–compulsive conditions. I understand how consuming and overwhelming OCD can be, and I aim to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and supported.
I work using Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (I-CBT), an evidence-based treatment developed specifically for OCD. It is a non-exposure-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the reasoning processes that create obsessional doubt, helping reduce distress and the need for compulsive behaviours.
I work with children (8+), adolescents, and adults experiencing OCD, including those who meet clinical diagnostic criteria as well as those whose symptoms fall below diagnostic thresholds but still cause distress or disruption in daily life. Further information about my approach and appointment availability is available on my website.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
"
I-CBT for OCD focuses on understanding how obsessional doubt is constructed through shifts in reasoning, rather than confronting fears or pushing through distress. Therapy aims to clarify and correct the reasoning that causes imagined possibilities to be mistaken for reality. The work is collaborative, paced, and grounded in your lived experience.
