About Me
Specialist OCD Therapist Combining Clinical Expertise and Lived Understanding
I am a Chartered Psychologist and BABCP-accredited CBT therapist specialising in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My work focuses on helping people break free from intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the cycle of doubt that keeps OCD going.
Alongside my professional training, my approach is also informed by the lived experience of OCD. This gives me a deeper understanding of how convincing and exhausting the disorder can feel — and of how meaningful recovery becomes when therapy is structured, evidence-based, and compassionate.
In therapy, I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My goal is to create a clear, collaborative process that helps you understand how OCD works, gradually face feared situations, and build lasting confidence in managing uncertainty.
Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or have tried support before, I aim to offer a calm, supportive space grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine understanding.
Specialist Approach
My work combines evidence-based CBT and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) with a clear, collaborative style. Therapy is structured, practical, and tailored to each person’s OCD presentation, helping clients build confidence in managing uncertainty and reducing compulsions.
Clinical Focus
I specialise in the assessment and treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, and complex OCD presentations. My approach is grounded in research, neuroscience, and compassionate clinical practice.
