Most people don't come to me saying "I'm being manipulated." They say things like "I feel confused," "I'm always the one giving more," or, "I think I'm dealing with a narcissist,", "I don't understand what I'm doing wrong." They know something isn't right — and they often assume the problem is them. If you're feeling stuck, depleted, or like you're walking on eggshells in a relationship — romantic, family, friendship or work — you're in the right place.

Ever feel like you're just about keeping it together — stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in a way that's hard to put into words? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own. I work with adults feeling anxious, low, or stuck — especially during big life changes like early parenthood or those seasons of life where everything shifts at once. A lot of the people I work with are trying to do things a bit differently — to understand themselves better, break cycles that have been passed down through generations, and find healthier ways of coping and relating.

I work with adults of all ages as a Clinical Psychologist. My typical way of working is as follows: I often start with a family tree, to understand attachment patterns and what we may have learned about ourselves and others in early life. I then complete a timeline, adding in key events that the individual views as important to their present day experiences. This is called formulation, and is helpful in its own right. It also gives us all the information necessary to determine the most appropriate therapy or support. Everyone is unique.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Counsellors
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.

Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.

How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.

What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
