My Approach

Understanding why you suffer is important, but knowing how to change it is essential.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective, research-supported treatments for OCD and anxiety.

CBT helps identify and shift the thinking and behavioural patterns that reinforce distress, while ERP retrains the brain to stop reacting as if every thought or feeling is dangerous. Together, they help you face uncertainty without fear and build confidence in your ability to cope.

Alongside these, I integrate psychoeducation and neuropsychological profiling to help you understand why your brain responds the way it does, and how to retrain it. This approach allows therapy to be highly individualised, reflecting your physiology, thought patterns, and emotional style.

My sessions are collaborative, structured, and deeply human, balancing clinical precision with emotional safety, so that change feels both challenging and achievable.

Where Mind and Body Meet

OCD rarely exists in isolation. Many people living with it also experience overlapping conditions that influence mood, energy, and cognitive clarity. These can include:

• ADHD and executive-functioning difficulties

• Hormonal and endocrine conditions (PMDD, PCOS, perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction)

• Hypermobility and Ehlers–Danlos spectrum conditions

• Gut–brain axis disorders (IBS, functional dysregulation)

• Autoimmune and inflammatory disorders (fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis)

• Sleep and fatigue syndromes

• Obsessive–Compulsive Personality traits (OCPD) and neurodivergence

• Bipolar and depression

These aren’t separate issues; they’re interconnected systems that shape how you think, feel, and function.

Many of my clients reach me after years of searching for answers, having seen multiple specialists without a clear understanding of how their mental and physical symptoms connect. My role is to bridge that gap, translating biological realities into psychological insight and practical strategies for living well.

Why I do this work

Living with OCD and anxiety can feel like a battle between reason and fear, a mind that clearly sees the truth, yet can’t silence the false alarms. I’ve met people who are exhausted from trying to outthink their thoughts, who have spent years fighting invisible battles no one else can see. And yet, beneath all that fear, there’s something profoundly human, a deep care for what matters most.

OCD preys on exactly that. It targets the things you value: your integrity, your safety, your faith, your loved ones, and it convinces you that you could lose or destroy them if you let your guard down. It’s not about control; it’s about terror disguised as responsibility.

My work is about helping people quiet that fear so they can finally hear the reasonable voice beneath it, the one that’s always been there, calm and rational, waiting to be trusted again.

There is nothing more fulfilling than watching someone who’s lived in fear begin to experience calm, not because the thoughts have vanished, but because they’ve learned to stop believing them.

Seeing a person rediscover freedom, laughter, and connection, that’s what makes this work sacred to me.
