OCD Therapist in London – CBT from a Therapist Who’s Lived It
Get support from someone who’s been where you are.
I’m a qualified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist offering online therapy for OCD across London – including Stratford, East London, and surrounding areas.
Struggling with OCD? You’re Not Alone
If you’re searching for help with obsessive thoughts, guilt over past events, rumination or constant mental checking, this might be more than general anxiety.
These patterns can show up as part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Many of the people I work with describe:
- Distressing intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to control
- Fears of harming others, contaminating loved ones, or making the “wrong” choice
- Constant doubts about their relationships or past behaviour
- Compulsive behaviours (including mental ones) to ease the discomfort
Whether you’re dealing with Pure O, Relationship OCD, Real Event OCD, False Memory OCD or another subtype, therapy can help you break free from the cycle and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Get OCD Therapy in London from Someone Who Understands It
I’m a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and a registered member of the BACP.
I work with adults across London, offering one-to-one online therapy that’s tailored to OCD and grounded in evidence-based approaches.
Alongside my professional training, I also have lived experience of OCD.
I understand how isolating, confusing and exhausting it can be.
That understanding helps me offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can feel truly heard.
I work with adults throughout Greater London, including areas like Stratford, Hackney, Islington, and beyond.
OCD Counselling London – What to Expect
In our sessions, we’ll start by exploring how OCD is showing up in your life.
From there, we’ll begin working with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – a therapy recommended by NICE guidelines for OCD.
ERP helps people gradually face the things they fear without turning to compulsions.
With practice, this approach can help your brain learn that you don’t need to check, analyse or avoid in order to feel safe, and that anxiety can begin to ease over time.
Depending on your needs, we can also draw from:
- Mindfulness practices to help manage anxious thoughts
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build resilience and values-based living
- Inference-Based CBT (ICBT) targets the reasoning process that can turn a doubt into an obsessional narrative.
Whether your OCD centres on morality, health, harm, relationships or past events, these approaches are designed to help you build resilience, develop insight into OCD’s patterns, and find relief from the cycles that keep you stuck.
Online OCD Therapy – Convenient, Private, Flexible
Therapy with me is fully online. That means you can access support wherever you are, no commuting, no waiting rooms, and no need to rearrange your day.
It’s a good option if you’re juggling work, family, or simply want more privacy.
Clients often tell me they feel a sense of relief at speaking to someone who not only understands OCD from a clinical perspective, but also appreciates the emotional toll it can take first hand.
Who I Work With
I regularly support people facing different OCD themes, including:
· Pure O – intrusive thoughts without visible compulsions
· Relationship OCD (ROCD) – doubts around love, compatibility, or commitment
· Real Event OCD – mental replaying and guilt over past events
· False Memory OCD – distressing doubts or intrusive thoughts about things you might have said or done, often without clear memory or evidence.
· Harm OCD – intrusive thoughts about hurting yourself or others, often paired with intense guilt or fear of losing control
· Health anxiety or Contamination fears – feeling unsafe or unclean
· Moral, sexual or religious obsessions – worries about being a bad person
· Meta OCD – obsessing about your thoughts, why you’re having them, and what they mean, often getting stuck analysing the OCD itself
· Perfectionism and fear of failure – needing things to feel “just right”
Wherever you are in your journey, I’ll meet you with empathy and honesty.

Finding the right therapist can make a real difference.
If you’ve tried general counselling and felt misunderstood, you’re not alone.
While traditional talking therapies can be helpful for many issues, OCD often needs a more targeted approach.
Treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are recommended for OCD because they directly address the patterns that keep it going.
I understand how overwhelming OCD can feel, not just professionally but personally.
That insight helps me offer a compassionate, focused approach to support meaningful, long-term progress.

- Stratford and East London
- Central and North London
