I am a consultant psychologist and work specifically with people who have OCD or Trauma or both. In 25 years of specialist practice, I have helped 1000+ people regain their lives. It's not your fault if previous therapy hasn't yet yielded the desired results. Often, this is due to a lack of therapist expertise. I tailor therapy to exactly what is needed for YOUR issues. Therefore, your time & monetary investment is often less with me than with other non-specialist psychologists. I see only a small number of clients, so I can offer you the highest level of service. I currently hold a waitlist. Not currently accepting AXA insurance.
My therapeutic methods include CBT (ERP/ACT) & new cutting-edge approaches not generally offered by other psychologists. I am duly registered with HPCP & British Psychological Society & teach OCD & ERP in Clinical Psychology at UK universities. You will get a specialised approach, directly addressing your specific OCD or trauma challenges with precision.
OCD and trauma, even when deeply intertwined, can be managed so they no longer control your life. With lived experience of OCD, I understand this both personally and professionally. Any OCD (e.g., ROCD, POCD, harm OCD, or others), with or without trauma, can improve. The right approach makes therapy efficient, leading to lasting, meaningful change.
