The ensuing growth development can enable you to consider yourself and others from new perspectives and allows space for different choices and the possibility to make different life decisions.

I specialise in neurodivergent families including ADHD, autism and AuDHD, and support concerns such as anxiety, OCD related behaviours, parenting challenges, trauma and relationship difficulties.
Many families reach out when something in the system feels stuck. Parents may be worried about a child struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, neurodivergent needs such as ADHD or autism, or the stress of family change, like separation or divorce. I work with neurodivergent families, parents and couples to understand what is happening beneath the behaviour. Through family-focused counselling, we explore patterns, strengthen communication and develop practical strategies that help families create stability, connection and confidence moving forward.

I don't think there really is any such thing as an ideal client... my preference is someone who wants a combination of 'offloading' to a skilled listener and provision of psychological skills/strategies to help make their situation better.

Welcome! I'm Deb. Have you just had enough and want to change, to move forward, to be calm? Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, as if it's happening to you and beyond your control? You're not alone—many people experience these thoughts. Anxiety is at the core of many issues and is a learned response generated from within, whether on a conscious or subconscious level. Understanding its origins isn't necessary for effective treatment. Solution-focused Clinical Hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with your unique inner resources, enabling you to leave past problems behind and embrace a more empowered future.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
