Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Brighton

Hello. I am Sarah Eva. I am an experienced psychotherapist and an accredited EMDR practitioner and consultant (supervisor). I am a qualified CBT therapist and have completed training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Levels 1 and 2. I provide safe and confidential therapy services to adults and adolescents (16+) for a range of presenting difficulties, from depression and anxiety, including OCD, to childhood trauma, including sexual abuse and complex PTSD. I have a clinic in Brighton, UK and offer online therapy sessions. I am accredited with BACP and EMDR UK.

I am a specialist OCD therapist; I offer Rumination Focused ERP (Dr. Michael Greenberg) for OCD. I treat anxiety, depression & other mental health issues. I assess & diagnose Autism & ADHD. I have extensive experience in supporting people through life events and transitions. As a Christian psychologist I support those who wish to integrate their faith and mental wellbeing and those who wish to explore their faith and doubts (including scrupulosity). I also work with people other faiths or no faith. I’m registered with all major UK insurers and I'm insured to work internationally.

If you are someone who is experiencing anxiety which is starting to negatively impact on your life or has done for many years then please do get in touch. It might be struggling to leave the house, having intrusive, unwanted thoughts or images, having to engage in behaviours such as frequent checking, washing or repeating. Often people can feel embarrassed talking about their anxieties or the unwanted behaviours they feel urged to undertake. I hope my years of experience using evidence based approaches with anxiety should help you feel able to discuss and face these anxieties head on, allowing you to lead a healthier, happier life.

I'm Dr Miriam Lobo, a Brighton and Hove, Senior Clinical Psychologist. I have more than 20 years of experience of providing psychological support both in the NHS and private practice. I have extensive experience of working with both adults, children, young people and families across the majority of mental health issues and diagnosis. From anxiety conditions, health issues, relationships issues, self harm, stress, OCD, depression, ASC, and longer term conditions. I have a specialised interest in ASC, Birth Trauma, sexual health, OCD and anxiety presentations. I split my time to work with both adults and young people and families.

I specialise (17 yrs experience) in working with young people and adults particularly neurodiverse clients (Autism, ADHD, self-harm, OCD, stammer etc). Having trained and practised as a Speech & Language Therapist, I now focus on humanistic psychotherapy because it is my passion to support individuals in navigating their unique way of being in the world. As well as face to face and online sessions, I can offer animal therapy (I have a canine-concern registered black lab), assistance dogs are welcome and where needed I offer walking therapy as well as meeting clients in different locations to help with anxiety issues.

I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience of helping adults through a range of life challenges, emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties – predominantly within the NHS, and more recently in private practice. I understand that anybody can experience periods of distress and life can throw challenges that are difficult to navigate. Examples of issues that I have supported people with include low mood, depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, OCD, psychosis, low self-esteem, insomnia, trauma, interpersonal issues, abuse, grief, loss, stress, chronic health conditions, being a carer, and issues around identity.

As a therapist and midwife I understand the barriers you might feel asking for help during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth or postnatally). Many people struggle to talk about their anxiety, depression or doubts and worries about being a parent. You might feel judged or that you have failed in some way and there can be a real sense of pressure to feel positive throughout, making it sometimes feel really hard to admit you are struggling, so I understand just how significant asking for help is. Reaching out is positive and is the first step towards recovery - of your sense of self, your self worth and your wellbeing.

Coming along to therapy for the first time can feel exposing. It's important to remember that you are not alone in any difficulties you're facing. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to talk, think and grow. Therapy can be about making specific changes so that life feels more meaningful, rewarding or less overwhelming. Or it can simply be an opportunity to be properly heard, to reflect and get to know yourself better. I am a HCPC-registered senior Clinical Psychologist working privately and in an NHS community service.

I have worked alongside people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, experiencing a broad range of mental health difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, workplace stress, attachment and relationship difficulties. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing on multiple psychological theories (e.g. CBT, ACT, CFT, CAT, psycho-dynamic approaches) to build an individualised and holistic approach, empowering each individual to embark on recovery and achieve their therapeutic goals.

Hello, my name is Sadia Osmany and I am an accredited CBT Psychotherapist registered with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

I am able to work on a wide number of issues including Depression, Anxiety, Low self-esteem, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Worry, OCD, Low self-confidence, Insomnia, Body Dysmorphia, Panic Disorder and general stress and adjustment difficulties.

I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Counselling Psychologist and qualified Integrative Psychotherapist registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I can provide therapeutic support for difficulties such as ADD/ADHD, Adjustment Difficulties, Anxiety, Depression, Gender Identity, OCD, Self-Harm and more.

I'm an accredited therapist with the BACP who provides psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR & CBT. I work with adults, teens and older age and have particular focus in anxiety/depression, OCD/intrusive thoughts, chronic illness/disability and LGBT+ issues. But maybe you’re experiencing a crisis, loss or bereavement that has come to dominate your life? Whatever the challenge is to your sense of safety, happiness and peace, I provide a containing and open space for you to explore yourself without judgment and to begin to meet the challenges in your life.

Are you struggling with persistent self-doubt? Are you feeling overwhelmed by distressing emotions? Are you feeling stuck, hopeless or demotivated? Are you suffering with anxiety that feels out of control? I can offer you a calm space to explore your difficulties. I have over 15 years experience working in mental health and I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT). CBT is a widely recognised evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behavioural responses to address a variety of mental health issues.

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist who has been studying and working in the field for the past 22 years and I now run a private practice in Mid Sussex.
