Problems that I treat
Anxiety
I use a CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) framework to treat generalised anxiety and provide helpful techniques for coping with stress and persistent worrying. I also treat more specific kinds of anxiety, such as fear of illness (health anxiety) and panic.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I am very experienced in working with OCD that purely revolves around mental compulsions, as well as OCD that involves physical compulsions.
Phobias
I use a CBT framework to treat various specific phobias, such as emetophobia (fear of vomiting), fear of heights and claustrophobia.
Repetitive body-focused behaviours
These include hair-pulling (trichotillomania) and skin-picking (excoriation). Both cognitive and behavioural techniques can be very helpful in dealing with these issues.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
I have experience of using an I-CBT protocol to treat the distressing thoughts and behaviours connected to perceived physical flaws.
