Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in East London

Frankie Mgbadike
Psychotherapist, MSc, MUKCP
East London, London E5
I collaborate in a psychologically safe space using a trauma-informed approach, focusing on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, insomnia, imposter syndrome, grief/loss, body image, perfectionism, relationships issues, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, addiction, sexual abuse, anger, OCD, eating disorders, identity, and spiritual concerns.
As a dedicated psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, I apply diverse therapeutic modalities to help clients understand and dialogue to gain insights. My collaborative approach encourages openness and fosters a safe, non-judgmental environment for validation. I work with individuals to explore trauma narratives, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. I provide clinical supervision through an intersectional lens, examining the diverse identities that shape individuals and I work with emerging therapists, students, and health professionals, creating a growth-oriented space to navigate the complexities of their practice.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with the BACP. I work with individuals and with couples for short term and long term periods. I provide a safe and confidential space for my clients to talk and explore the challenges they are facing and how this impacts their life. I respect the individuality of my clients, their experience and capacity to decide and choose their own destiny. You may have a goal or outcome you'd like to achieve, but often you may not, and this is okay. I work relationally and believe the supportive and trusting relationship between myself and my clients helps facilitate change and a way forward.

Psychologist, HCPC - Clin. Psych.

I focus on using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as research indicates that CBT can help many difficulties such as: anxiety-based problems (panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias), depression and low mood, eating disorders, sleep difficulties, low self esteem, problematic perfectionism, and anger.
CBT looks at the impact of our thoughts and behaviours on our emotional state. We can get trapped in unhelpful patterns in our thought processes and things we do, which cause distress and get in the way of us leading our life. CBT aims identify and change these unhelpful cycles. EMDR can help people to move on from distress related to traumatic events.

Most people come to therapy when something isn’t working anymore. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down from coping on your own. You’ve tried to make changes, but the same patterns keep repeating. You know something needs to shift, even if you’re not sure how. I aim to offer a space where you feel genuinely heard, without judgment, and where we can begin to make sense of things and find a way forward. A strong therapeutic relationship is central to my work and provides the foundation for understanding patterns that may be keeping you stuck, clarifying what matters to you, and supporting you in building the life you want.

Waitlist for new clients
Many people who seek my work are high-functioning professionals who appear to be coping well but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by patterns that no longer make sense. Reaching this point often reflects insight rather than failure. My role is to help you work through complexity with clarity, structure, and discretion, without oversimplifying your experience. I am a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist with extensive clinical experience in UK NHS mental health services with advanced academic background. This allows me to combine outcome-focused therapy with psychological depth and nuance.

Because your history, personality, and circumstances are yours alone, you need a tailored approach to therapy. That said, all clients arrive for their first appointment for more or less the same reasons. You're struggling, and it's painful, and change feels so necessary and yet so impossible. You've tried to fix things, but nothing has worked, or it's not worked for long. You're tired of feeling like this, don't like it when you react like this, don't want to feel at war with life, or work, or other people, or your own mind anymore. You're out of ideas and want help to find a better way.

In my practice, I treat established conditions, such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD).
I am a psychotherapist based in Stoke Newington, on the border of Dalston. I offer a private, strictly confidential, and non-judgemental service. I stress the last point in the belief that psychotherapy has the potential to be one of the few truly non-judgemental relational spaces available to us. It focuses on the individual's experience, however challenging, highlighting those that for various reasons remain largely unexpressed or unacknowledged – perhaps because they are painful, frightening, overwhelming, shameful, or simply seen as wrong.

I am a Chartered and Registered Counselling Psychologist who adopts a pluralistic framework based on the premise that no one therapeutic approach is superior, and different clients are likely to benefit from different therapeutic methods at different points in time. The pluralistic position puts the client and their needs at the centre of therapy and is based on working collaboratively. I honestly believe that people are experts of themselves but with help from trained professionals they can have a better understanding of themselves and the reason(s) for their behaviours.
