Hello, thank you for stopping by my page! Many of us often face difficult times or may not feel supported by the people or systems around us. You may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, relationship issues, self-harm, trauma, or abuse. Therapy is an opportunity to focus on immediate/past issues, whilst also strengthening your own identity and self-worth. I aim to offer a safe, non-judgmental, confidential, therapeutic space and encourage people of different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds to enquire.

Hi, I’m Alanna. Starting therapy can be daunting and that's completely understandable. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable, however in doing so you are already taking steps towards making changes inside you, that will begin to change things around you too. My approach is to help you unpack what is going on for you at present, how this has developed over time and any recurring patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I am never thinking "what is wrong with you?" but rather what strategies had to be adopted in response to life's circumstances. I provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you to truly feel heard and understood.

I am a psychotherapist trained in both psychodynamic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). How I work with you will be largely dependent on your needs and your goals for counselling. We will identify this together during an assessment where I will aim to understand more about you, the challenges you have experienced and the particular issues you are struggling with. Our therapeutic relationship will be central to the healing that is possible for you in counselling. It will be a space where you will be 'heard' with compassion and without judgement and where the profound work of insight and change can occur.

You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from. As if your mind and body have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle. You might be confused about who you really are, what is your true self.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
How long does OCD treatment take?
OCD is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
