Thank you for visiting my profile. I’m Jess, an accredited psychotherapist with over ten years experience offering therapy to adults and couples. My own mental health struggles through the good times and bad has given me an in depth perspective on the importance of tailoring therapy to suit your needs. I work with but am not exclusive to - OCD and anxiety disorders via CBT (Exposure and Response Prevention), people in any addiction recovery, or those thinking of entering addiction recovery, trauma and problematic long term relationships and codependency.
I am happy to see clients on a short term basis (where I would normally work with the CBT model) or for longer where we can spend time looking at deeper issues and belief systems. I know the strategies that have worked for me, and I am passionate about being able to deliver these techniques to you, so that you can live a happier and more fulfilled life.
I have really been to the depths of mental illness, and I hope by disclosing this you will feel less alone. You are in a safe space with me, and you will not be judged. I am also happy to offer a free, no commitment 20 minute online consultation so you can ask me more questions and we can see if we are the right fit for each other.

I can help you with OCD and anxiety. You can recover like I did. We will do ERP when you are ready, and it will not be savage and hardcore. It will be gradual. When I see anxiety levels come down we will look at core belief systems and root issues so that you can have a better dialogue with you and more self love - the real ticket to freedom!

I use various techniques listed in my profile, depending on the client and where you are at. For example, if a client is in a very heightened state of anxiety like I was when I began recovery from OCD, I will wait until the anxiety has come down to do any exposure work. This may mean medication with a trusted psychiatrist who I can recommend.
