Sometimes we speak to friends and family about our worries , and without meaning to, they offer advice, or give their experience , leaving us feeling more confused and less clear about where we want to go.
I believe that to overcome our difficulties we need to be heard by someone who can help us to clarify, and explore why we might feel the way we do.
I also believe that often, experiences from childhood can shape our behaviour as adults, and we may not be aware, or don't know why . I can help to explore past experiences with you, so that they can be linked to your life today.

This has been with particular reference to clients with suspected or diagnosed neurodivergent conditions with a long history of masking and emotional distress, including suicidal ideation, self harm and obsessive and compulsive behaviours.
For you to be truly seen and heard, as you are, is my greatest priority. I offer warmth and welcome, without judgement or expectation.
The decision to seek counselling can be confusing and difficult to navigate; often a decision that feels unfamiliar and vulnerable. Whilst this can be a scary place to start, my priority is to ensure you feel safe enough to explore your experiences together. I aim to facilitate a space which feels comfortable, and provides some certainty in its acceptance, compassion and warmth.
Whether you are looking to be heard and listened to, or you want to find solutions, I will be with you for every step.

Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

Hello and welcome, I’m Andrew. I know how daunting it can be to seek help and so creating a safe and secure space for us to work within a non-judgemental, confidential environment is my primary goal.

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.
