Please Note I am currently fully booked. Is anxiety getting in the way of what's important to you? Do you experience unwanted, intrusive thoughts or worries? Perhaps you feel controlled by urges to confess, seek reassurance, avoid things, or check things over and over... I specialise in supporting people with OCD and other common anxiety problems. I have lived experience of OCD and I can help you to make sense of what you're experiencing, develop new insights, and achieve lasting recovery. Whatever your personal reasons for seeking therapy, I'll be committed to supporting you with warmth, acceptance and compassion.

Online CBT and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

I'm an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with additional training in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and ACT. I specialise in supporting people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD) and other common difficulties, including Social Anxiety, Trauma and PTSD, Panic Attacks, Depression, Shame and Self-Criticism.

It takes enormous courage to reach out for support and anything you share with me will be received with the utmost respect and compassion. Whatever you're experiencing, we'll work as a team to identify and achieve your goals. Contact me today to arrange a free phone consultation.

I specialise in working with clients to make sense of anxiety, whether related to past traumas, intrusive thoughts, panic, or specific feared situations. Many clients tell me that this is the first time they have felt able to understand and make sense of what they are experiencing. We then work as a team to develop and practice new skills and strategies, which are the key to lasting recovery.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is my core training. However, my practice is rooted in the integrative principles of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), so I will incorporate elements of this approach and other related approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), according to your individual goals. My approach is flexible but perhaps best described as Compassion-Focused CBT.
