A Dedicated Chartered Psychologist and CBT Therapist based in Edinburgh

As a committed cognitive behavioural therapist, I am dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting positive change and sustained mental health. My approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, creating a safe and comfortable space for clients to explore challenges. With extensive online CBT experience and BABCP accreditation, I offer therapy in English and Italian.

I specialise in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related conditions.

OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a complex and often deeply misunderstood mental health condition. Contrary to popular belief, it is not simply about being excessively tidy or frequently washing one’s hands. OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform in order to reduce distress or prevent feared outcomes.

Living with OCD can be profoundly challenging and isolating. Many people who struggle with it suffer in silence, feeling as though no one truly understands what they are going through. But you are not alone—and you don’t have to face this on your own.

There is hope. Effective, evidence-based treatment is available, and one of the most well-established approaches is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is a structured form of cognitive behavioural therapy that helps individuals gradually confront their fears and reduce the compulsive behaviours that fuel the cycle of OCD.

With the right support and therapeutic guidance, recovery is possible. A better, more fulfilling life is within reach.

Anxiety and Related Disorders
Anxiety is a natural human emotion—and in itself, it is not the problem. Surprised? The real challenge lies in how we respond to it, along with the thoughts and behaviours it triggers. If you struggle with anxiety, panic, or specific phobias, you can learn to manage them in ways you never thought possible. It is time to regain control and move forward with confidence.
