Specialising in CBT, ERP & ACT for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and health anxiety.
Calm Minds Therapy
Personalised therapy for results and lasting change
I am an anxiety specialist with a special interest, enhanced training and experience working with OCD and health anxiety.
I support individuals with OCD using evidence‑based approaches, primarily Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we work to understand the patterns of obsessions and compulsions that keep the cycle going, and we introduce structured exposures at a pace that feels manageable.
Alongside reducing compulsions and mental rituals, ACT helps you develop a more flexible, compassionate relationship with intrusive thoughts — learning to notice them without getting pulled into struggle or avoidance.
My approach is warm and collaborative, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and in control throughout the process. Over time, people often find that their confidence grows, their world becomes less restricted, and they regain a sense of freedom from OCD’s bullying demands.
Using CBT we can explore how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physical symptoms are all linked and work to break any unhelpful cycles.
Using CBT & ERP we can work together so you feel safe enough to stop compulsions and break the cycle of OCD.
Using ACT I can help you to embrace what is out of your control while committing to actions which align with your values.
Mindfulness practices will help you enjoy the present moment.
I have experience working with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, health anxiety, stress, depression, low self esteem and sleep difficulties.
