Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Salisbury

I am a Registered General Nurse, Mental Health Nurse, Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Accredited EMDR practitioner. I have over 20 years of experience, mainly within the Armed Forces. In this time I have managed Community Mental Health Teams, delivered therapy in remote locations overseas and now work in mental health research at Kings College London. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, social anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias and work-based stress. I have a particularly in-depth understanding of military trauma.

Has your child received an autism diagnosis or are you waiting for an assessment? Are you feeling unsure what to do next and struggling to find support? Is your child experiencing high levels of anxiety, overwhelm, melt downs or challenging behaviour? An autism diagnosis is the beginning. There is so much information but no one to guide you through it all. You do your best everyday but sometimes it just feels like it is not enough. Family and friends try to understand, school try to help but don’t always get it right. You may feel alone, isolated and lonely, unsure who to trust and where to turn.

I work gently and compassionately, with individuals/couples, struggling with difficult or painful feelings, managing their emotions, and struggling to enjoy life. Communication is often an issue, as are feelings of unfairness or difficulty forming good, lasting relationships. Issues may involve partners, parents, past traumas, or inner conflict making decisions difficult. They may involve issues at work with colleagues, management or relationships. When working with couples the issues are often about unfulfilled expectations, infidelity, lack of commitment/affection, insecurity, lack of empathy, or experiences of coercion or control

I'm a humanistic integrative counsellor. I believe that we all experience the world differently and, given the right conditions, we can empower ourselves by finding the answers within. I support people struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement, past trauma, trans-generational trauma and feelings of shame or low self-worth. I also have a particular interest in working with those who’ve suffered as a result of their historical boarding school experience.

Beginning therapy is a brave and sometimes difficult decision. My approach is to build a trusting relationship where we can work in collaboration with one another. If you're struggling, the most important thing I hope you to feel in my practice is safe, safe to explore your feelings and experiences so that together we can help establish a way forward. Please note that occasional responses to enquiries can land in your email's "junk" or "spam" folder. If you are waiting for a reply, please check there. I aim to respond to all enquiries within three working days.

Life can be overwhelming at times, and these days we don’t take a breath to sort out what’s going on before we're facing the next battle. We end up dissatisfied, anxious, low, not sure what’s going on or where to go next and what to do. Stuck in jobs, relationships and feeling like our emotions are getting to much and too big. Sometimes we’ve picked up unhelpful behaviours and habits along the way that are causing us to worry.

I am a compassionate, warm, and friendly person with a personal desire to help others find their way through demanding situations, such as stress, depression, or grief. I am here to help you achieve your goals and facilitate you in finding a positive outlook on life. I work relationally and collaboratively with my clients, providing a safe and secure environment to explore your issues. I am non-judgmental and work closely with people from differing social backgrounds, to help them on their journey toward new beginnings. My work is not directive; the purpose is to enable you to take control of your life with a clearer perspective.
