Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in Pinner

Thank you for reading my profile here on Psychology Today. I am a Counsellor and CBT Psychotherapist working in private practice in Pinner, NW London. I am an Accredited practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also an NHS trained, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) accredited with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I am a registered Hypnotherapist with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).

Welcome! We are a group of BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists who have substantial experience working within primary care and secondary care NHS mental health services. I have 13 years experience working within mental health services. I have been specifically trained to offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to individuals experiencing depression, generalised anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety etc. I am also trained to offer Behavioural Couples Therapy to address depression and/or relationship distress.

Hi - are you feeling stuck? Repeating the same patterns of behaviour again and again in your life or relationship and going around in circles? Do you feel a lack of love/respect with your partner or someone close to you? Is sex/intimacy or compulsive sexual behaviour an issue? Perhaps trauma, life changes, neurodiversity (adhd/asc) or difficult times have led to anxiety/depression, the trust has gone, or you're feeling sad, stressed lonely, angry, numb, or just not sure what you feel anymore? I provide a safe, non-judgmental space helping individuals, couples and enm relationships to create confidence, change and improve wellbeing.

I am a qualified Integrative Therapist. I have been working in the charity sector for more than 15 years . My life experiences with Mental Health Illness have made me value how important it is to share those experiences and to be guided on how to face those fears. I also realized how Mental Health Illness can effect day to day life: Stigma , Pressure , Lack of understanding of different aspects of culture , Backgrounds and Gender can contribute to how we can cope or not cope with all those challenges . Life can be full of difficulties but also full of surprises. It is about how we can recognize those experiences to move forward.

Our past impacts on our present and it can often be confusing and conflicting in our adult responses to current problems. When we cannot make sense of our own thoughts or responses, when our behaviour troubles us or is repetitive. Within the therapeutic process, control is taken back and the symptomatic behaviour in time can be renegotiated and become less powerful. My training is Psychodynamic but with many years of CPD (continuing professional development) I will adapt my style to what will be most helpful to you and what you bring to the sessions. Psychodynamic therapy involves working with the unconscious.

All of us need to feel safe and sometimes, even those who always seem in control need someone that can really listen. Do you feel confused, stuck or worried, anxious or depressed? Do you struggle with focus, motivation and feel you just can't reach your goals? Do you need someone that can help you to make sense of what is going on for you and in your relationships? Maybe you have been waiting for ever to be seen by CAMHS or Adult Mental Health Services? Maybe you have focus and drive, but want someone to guide you to become even better at your work, sport, or relationship. Please contact me so that we can schedule a meeting.

Hello and welcome. Counselling helps you understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. We will explore what you’re finding difficult, and unpack this further. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can talk openly, be heard and listened to without judgement. Are you or your teen struggling emotionally? Have you suffered a bereavement, or is anxiety taking control? I can offer you a space where you can begin to express yourself, and process what’s going on for you. Counselling can help you with relationships, communication and self worth, it can help you build self awareness, and in turn help you to make changes.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, scared or you are struggling with life in general it can be most helpful to talk with a psychotherapist about your concerns and difficulties. We will identify what you need from counselling and work together to achieve your goals and live more positively and joyfully. As a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with 30 years of experience I work sensitively to enable you to talk about what maybe troubling you. I create a safe and confidential space where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear or judgement.

I offer a supportive, confidential and friendly service to individuals, couples and families. You may wish to address a particular issue, or perhaps you are considering counselling because of a feeling that all is not well. Life brings various challenges. Our physical and psychological well being is affected by traumatic events, bullying, abuse, bereavement, family tensions, relationships and more. Sometimes we find ways of coping which also cause problems, examples are self-harm and addictions. I provide a non-judgmental space for whatever you wish to explore and address including anxiety, depression and emotional distress.

​Sometimes life can hurl difficulties our way and leaving us feeling conflicted, confused and depleted and at other times our thoughts and feelings may seem out of balance to the event that triggered them or do not seem to begin from anything specific at all. I work with you in a confidential space, where you can speak freely about what is troubling you, providing you with support and security, such that you no longer have to struggle on by yourself. My areas of expertise lie in treating anxiety, depression, traumata, loss and fertility concerns.

Counselling for me was an absolute gift. Having experienced first hand what it is like to receive counselling and going on my own therapeutic journey, both before training, during training and still now, I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy. I am a Person Centred Counsellor and can offer you a safe space to explore and externalise your emotions and work through whatever feelings that you want to bring. I really believe that asking for help is the first step to self awareness which in turn can bring you self acceptance and most importantly self worth. I would invite you to read on and consider me as your counsellor.

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and we can be dealing with something painful. We all have times when we need emotional support. You do not have to struggle alone. Often it is only when we talk to someone unconnected with our lives that we begin to hear what we are really saying and feeling. I offer a safe, unjudgemental and confidential space for you to work through what is troubling you and will support you as you find new ways forward.

You may experience unexpected disruption, chronic conditions, major life upheaval, triggering of past experiences, bereavement, and any of these could create anxiety, trauma or depression. Understanding could fall away, your support system could become unhelpful, anti-depressants may not be effective and your coping mechanisms may not work. You may feel overpowered by your circumstances and perhaps seek support and reinforcement as you experience distress. You may want your complex issues to be contained and get some tools and techniques to cope. Perhaps you may just like to confide in someone and share your experience.

Do you feel the need to be listened to without judgement? Do you need a safe place to talk through your thoughts and feelings? I work with all aspects of emotional well being and truly believe that a person has the potential for growth and change given the space, time and acceptance. In turn, finding your own answers and finding a way of moving towards an emotionally healthier way of living . I work with a wide range of issues including anger, anxiety disorders, depression, low self esteem, relationships, suicide, loss and bereavement and domestic abuse.

Sometimes in life we can be surrounded by people yet feel so alone. When speaking with friends and family you may feel they are not really listening, not realizing they maybe advising, or even competing with your problems. Stress, depression and low self esteem can often make you feel invisible but these feelings are not permanent. Living with shame, anger, fear or sadness can leave you in a dark fog, struggling to find your way through. With help and support your journey may become clearer. I would like to offer you space to talk without feeling judged, pressured or nagged, to experience feeling supported, valued and important.

I offer a welcoming environment whereby I hope you feel safe to explore your emotions without fear of criticism or blame. Being listened to at a deep level with warmth and understanding brings huge relief and alleviates distress. Being able to express yourself in the presence of another who seeks to understand and support you is a very powerful experience.
