Are you struggling with OCD or distressing intrusive thoughts? You might find yourself caught in cycles of rumination, doubt, or compulsions such as checking, seeking reassurance, confessing, or avoiding certain situations or objects.
I specialise in supporting people with OCD and I work online with clients across the UK and beyond. I also have lived experience of OCD, so I understand how convincing and distressing it can be. Together we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and help you break free from unhelpful patterns.
I’m an experienced Compassion‑Focused CBT therapist and accredited Clinical Supervisor, with advanced training in CBT, ERP, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Alongside OCD and intrusive thoughts, I support people with related difficulties such as depression, social anxiety, panic, trauma, and health anxiety.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence‑based. We’ll work together to help you respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive patterns, and move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and confidence.
If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch to arrange a free consultation.
