Hello I’m Bridget, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I specialise in OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I have extensive experience helping my clients view their anxious thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a more rational, less threatening way. Bringing in a new perspective enables a new way of relating to yourself. - -> Recent client feedback - “Bridget was really wonderful. I have left my sessions feeling empowered and confident that I have everything I need to tackle my OCD and challenging situations that may arise in future. I really can not thank her enough and I'm excited that I have various exercises I can use to navigate my OCD."

I help my clients LET GO of perfectionism, worry, social anxiety, panic attacks & OCD (using ERP). We'll BUILD your self-esteem and develop self-compassion. Through therapy, you'll identify and challenge thoughts that keep you stuck in a cycle of overthinking or self-doubt. Learning to disengage from these thoughts empowers you make behavioural changes.

I understand that it can feel vulnerable and frightening to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will meet you with empathy and understanding and create a safe space for you in our sessions. Your anxiety is unique to you and I offer a tailor made, bespoke evidence-based treatment plan to meet your needs. Book a no obligation free 15 min introductory call.

People often come to me feeling exhausted from managing their intrusive thoughts and anxiety, having tried various ways to break out of unhelpful patterns but nothing's really helped. It usually transpires that they haven't been given the evidence based tools to make these changes. The reason CBT is the recommend treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders is because it really works!
