OCD Therapist in Birmingham

Online CBT Support from an OCD Specialist with First-Hand Experience

If you’re looking for an OCD Therapist in Birmingham, it’s important to know you’re not alone-and that effective help is available.

As a qualified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) who has personally recovered from OCD, I offer therapy that blends both professional expertises with understanding from lived experience. My training guides how I deliver evidence-based treatment, while my lived experience helps me connect with clients in a way that feels grounded, empathetic, and non-judgemental.

Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, guilt, or a constant sense of doubt, we can work together to loosen OCD’s grip and help you reconnect with the parts of life that matter most.

OCD Counselling in Birmingham

Therapy tailored to your individual OCD experience

OCD doesn’t look the same for everyone. While some people struggle with outward compulsions like checking or washing, others deal with more internal patterns like rumination, mental acts, seeking reassurance, or thoughts they find disturbing or unacceptable.

I support clients with a range of OCD subtypes, including:

Relationship OCD (ROCD)
Real Event OCD (obsessing over past events)
False Memory OCD (distressing doubts about things you may or may not have done)
Pure O (obsessions without obvious compulsions)
Harm OCD (fears of causing harm to others or yourself)
Health OCD (obsessions and compulsions related to illness or health anxiety)
SO-OCD (sexual orientation themes)
Scrupulosity (religious or moral obsessions)

When working with my clients we usually use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective and evidence-backed approach recommended by NICE and the NHS. Where helpful, I may also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based CBT (ICBT) or mindfulness-based tools.

OCD Therapy in Birmingham from a Specialist Who’s Been Where You Are

Professional training, personal understanding

I understand how isolating OCD can feel, because I’ve lived it. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years dealing with my own OCD symptoms. That lived experience, alongside my professional training, allows me to connect with the complexity of OCD in a deeply human way. It helps me offer a space that’s non-judgemental, accepting, and empathetic, where clients feel understood, supported, and safe to do the work that matters.

I’m a fully qualified CBT therapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work exclusively online, supporting people throughout Birmingham, including areas like Harborne, Moseley, Edgbaston, Handsworth, Digbeth and Selly Oak.
