My specialist areas are ADHD, OCD, Social anxiety, Health anxiety and PTSD.
Finding it hard to settle into college/university, a new job, life as a new parent or life in a new place? Do thoughts like “Am I good enough?, I can’t do this” follow you everywhere? Are painful past experiences or constant worries about things going wrong keeping you awake at night? If so, you’re not alone. I help people uncover what’s keeping these difficulties going and teach evidence-based skills and techniques to break free from the cycle. This stage of life may feel overwhelming, but it can also be transformative. Together, we’ll work on releasing what no longer serves you and uncovering a healthier, more resilient you.

Neelam’s worked with a range of people who feel stuck, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, relationships or cultural expectations. They may struggle with self-worth, identity, boundaries and long for peace, clarity and confidence. They want to understand themselves better, heal old wounds and build healthier patterns. Deep down, they’re seeking connection, to feel seen, accepted, and empowered to live authentically, free from guilt or fear, with a stronger sense of self and emotional balance.

Are you feeling really low and depressed and anxious but don't know why? You are stuck and do not know how to overcome this feeling....Thinking about counselling can be quite daunting and not knowing what to expect can be quite frightening.

I have many years of experience working with a variety of client issues. I believe that we all have the potential to bring about positive change in our lives whatever our past experiences and therefore I always seek to provide hope. It is a particular delight to work with clients who reflect on the sessions between appointments however I am aware that for many individuals attending sessions can be well outside their comfort zone. I therefore adopt a gentle, encouraging approach allowing clients to work at their own pace.

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.
