OBSESSLESS THERAPY
Guidance From a Therapist & Recovered OCD Sufferer
You and I are probably a lot alike…
You’ve likely struggled with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms for a while, this can include:
– Wrestling with intrusive thoughts.
– Feelings of guilt over uncertain memories.
– Or trying to remove anxiety.
Even though you may feel like there is no way out, please know that you can get to a place where you:
– Feel secure in your relationships.
– Feel confident taking risks in your career.
– Can appreciate and enjoy things around you.
– Can pursue your passions without letting intrusive thoughts, obsessions or perfectionism attack or interfere with things that are important to you.
– Feel free from guilt and shame holding you back.
~ OCD is incredibly tough ~
~ I’m so sorry you’re struggling ~
But guess what?
I’m thrilled that you’re here, because you’re in the right hands.
After reaching recovery from my own OCD, I became a qualified CBT Therapist and have successfully supported many individuals on their journey to overcoming OCD.
Opening up about your struggles can be daunting, particularly when it feels like not all therapists understand the nuances of OCD thoughts.
It’s important for you to know that I not only understand what you’re experiencing, I’ve lived it myself!
We can collaborate to help you achieve the fulfilling life you truly deserve.
You are not your thoughts, and here, you will find no judgment, only support.
My OCD recovery journey
I’ve built a wonderful growing community of over 6000 people, where I encourage others to embrace uncertainty and break free from the cycle of anxiety for a calmer, more fulfilling life.
But before becoming a qualified CBT therapist, I battled severe OCD and anxiety myself.
The journey to recovery was more than a little rocky…
How does therapy work?
If you’re struggling with OCD we’ll follow the most successful evidence based model of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which is recommended in the NICE guidelines for the treatment of OCD. ERP is a powerful approach that desensitises fears and retrains the mind, freeing you from the grip of anxiety.
And if it feels right for you, we can also bring mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into our work. With growing research to support these approaches I’m a big believer in these tools, because they made a huge difference in my own recovery from OCD.
No matter your subtype of OCD, be it obsessive thoughts, harm urges, real event OCD or even false memories that feel so real, therapy can be a game changer in helping you break free from OCD and live your life more fully.
