Do you experience intrusive thoughts that cause distress, a constant doubt over whether you have checked the door is locked, or a need to undertake compulsions to reduce anxiety? Does part of you realise that these thoughts and compulsions are unhelpful, yet you struggle to stop them? Do you worry you are ‘going mad’ due to this? These are symptoms of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which can be treated successfully with therapy. We can work together to overcome this. Intrusive thoughts do not define you or mean you are 'bad', they are simply thoughts, and we will work to together to take away their power.

I offer low cost therapy for people with low disposable income

I have experiencing in working with people experiencing a range of mental health conditions such as OCD, general anxiety, and depression and I am particularly interested in treating OCD, however you do not need to have a diagnosis of any condition to benefit from therapy. I also have significant experience working with neurodiverse individuals.

I use a collaborative approach to work with clients. I may be the expert in CBT but you are the expert in you! We will work together to ensure that you are challenged, but supported. You may be asked to step outside your comfort zone at times, as this is necessary for change, but we will do this together and you will work at your own pace.
