Do you experience intrusive thoughts that conflict with your values and cause distress, a constant doubt over whether you have checked the door is locked, or feel a need to undertake compulsions to reduce anxiety? Does part of you realise that these thoughts and compulsions are unhelpful, yet you struggle to stop them? Do you worry you are ‘going mad’ due to this? These may be symptoms of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which can be treated successfully with therapy. Intrusive thoughts do not define you or mean you are 'bad', they are simply thoughts, and we will work to together to take away their power.
I offer low cost therapy for people with low disposable income
I have a particular interest in treating OCD and anxiety related problems, however you do not need to have a diagnosis of any condition to benefit from therapy. We will work together in a non judgemental way using a range of tools and strategies to reduce the power of distressing thoughts.
I use a collaborative approach to work with clients. I may be the expert in CBT but you are the expert in you! We will work together to ensure that you are challenged, but supported. You may be asked to step outside your comfort zone at times, as this is necessary for change, but we will do this together, and you will work at your own pace.

Types of Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
  • Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
  • Inference based CBT for OCD (i-CBT)
"
My main approach is CBT, which is a cognitive behavioural therapy which works with cognitions (thoughts/images) and looks at the cycle of how these impact actions, and emotions. With OCD, as well as ERP treatment, I also offer inference based CBT which is a gentler evidence based approach that does not require intensive exposure. I also use elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
