No matter what brings you to therapy, your experience matters. You may notice patterns repeating, intense emotions that don’t let up, or physical sensations that leave you on edge without a clear reason. Our brains and bodies often react long before we understand why, and therapy can help you make sense of these responses rather than feeling ruled by them.

I'm Sharon and I offer short and long term therapy across Brighton and Hove. Life can sometimes feel heavy—leaving us stuck, anxious, or unsure of which way to turn. In these moments, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. I work with warmth and compassion, drawing on psychodynamic and relational approaches to gently uncover how early experiences and relationships may be shaping present-day struggles.
Together, we begin to understand how these patterns have influenced your sense of self, your relationships, and how you move through the world

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (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.
