OCD Therapy
OCD therapy for when your mind will not let you rest.
OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, images, doubts or urges that feel unwanted and hard to dismiss. Compulsions may be visible, such as checking or reassurance-seeking, or hidden, such as rumination, reviewing memories, testing feelings or trying to find certainty.
How therapy can help
Practical support and deeper understanding.
My approach combines practical ways of working with difficult thoughts and feelings alongside exploration of the patterns, relationships and experiences that may be keeping you stuck.

Frequently asked questions about OCD therapy
What is OCD?
OCD involves intrusive thoughts, images, urges or doubts, followed by compulsions that try to reduce anxiety or create certainty.
What are mental compulsions?
Mental compulsions can include rumination, checking feelings, reviewing memories, analysing thoughts, neutralising images or trying to feel certain.
Do you work with Pure O?
Yes. Pure O often involves hidden compulsions rather than obvious external rituals. Therapy can help identify and reduce these patterns.
Do you offer OCD therapy online?
Yes. I offer online therapy across the UK and in-person therapy in London Bridge.
