Many people struggle with thoughts like “I’m the problem,” “I’m worthless,” or “What if something bad happens…” thoughts that can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming. These patterns often come with anxiety, low mood, obsessive thinking or behaviours, and a constant sense of being on edge or disconnected. I specialise in helping you recognise, understand, and gently challenge these unhelpful thought patterns using evidence‑based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My approach focuses on small, meaningful changes that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control.

I continue to learn to better support the people I work with, particularly around gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and neurodiversity.

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.
