If you’re struggling with the relentless grip of OCD or anxiety then you’ll know how exhausting it is to feel trapped in daily cycles of obsessive overthinking, repetitive behaviours, doubts, scary thoughts, self criticism and shame.
I’m a warm and compassionate therapist specialising in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, particularly if previous treatment has felt unhelpful. I’ll help you understand what’s maintaining your OCD and/or anxiety. I’ve worked with a huge range of subtypes of OCD including Relationships, Sexuality, Scrupulosity, contamination, perinatal, harm and POCD.

Whatever it is that has brought you to this point, whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, depression or relationships, together we can start to help you process this past experience and work on building your self awareness to help you make the right changes.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I tailor my skills and learning to meet the unique needs of each individual client or couple, drawing mainly on psychodynamic theory. However, working relationally is my most primary influence, meaning I focus on the client/counsellor relationship to help you develop awareness of self, allowing you to be more authentically you.

I can offer you support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship connections and personal growth.
I believe in giving people the tools to help themselves. In my experience people feel good about having techniques that they can use at home, an example is Emotional Freedom Technique EFT. You are an expert on you but working together we can uncover feelings and thoughts and work towards a more settled feeling or on what you really want in your life.

Issues I work with include: Abuse, ADHD, Anxiety, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Depression (please see below for other issues I work with).
I provide face-to-face, walk and talk (depending on location) and online sessions. I offer a compassionate and warm space where you can share without fear of judgement, although I appreciate this may feel somewhat daunting or uncomfortable at first. Maybe you've gotten to a point in your life where what worked for you before is no longer working. Or maybe you can no longer sense or intuit what works. Therapy can be a valuable starting point, offering a chance to revisit and untangle the complicated aspects of your life that you may have tried to suppress. ​It's a safe space to reconnect with yourself.

You may feel anxious about the process but that is ok, I'm here to help you make that change if you want to.
Sometimes life and the problems that arise can seem confusing even overwhelming. Some problems are based very much in the present but often I work with clients to see how their past impacts their life today and with this new awareness we work together to make the changes needed to move forwards. By bringing the unconscious into the conscious we can explore what outdated belief systems and adaptations you may be dragging around with you from childhood. These adaptations may have protected you as a child but as an adult often no longer serve a purpose and can even be detrimental to your relationships. Is it time to make some changes?
