OCD
Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Living with OCD can feel exhausting- intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, and the constant need for control can take over daily life. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you understand your patterns, reduce anxiety, and develop healthier ways to cope.
Using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, we explore what’s driving the OCD cycle and work gently toward more freedom, emotional balance, and a restored sense of safety.

Leonie M Dippenaar
Life Coach, BWRT® Master Coach | Certified Hypnotherapist (CHT) | Ethno Psychology Practitioner (EPP)
OCD thinking can create a cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, doubt, and overwhelm that feels difficult to switch off. Our work focuses on understanding the patterns behind the distress, reducing the emotional intensity attached to unwanted thoughts, and developing practical tools to respond differently so you can experience greater calm and control.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

OCD
Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
OCD work focuses on understanding how intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and anxiety interact. I support people in developing a steadier relationship with their thoughts and reducing how controlling these patterns feel. The emphasis is on emotional regulation and safety rather than trying to eliminate thoughts.

Online in Sunderland, England
Sunderland is a city in the northeast of England with a proud history in shipbuilding and coal mining, and its post-industrial economic transformation has left significant deprivation in many communities, with mental health need among the highest in the country across a range of indicators. NHS mental health services are provided through Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, one of England's largest mental health trusts, though demand consistently exceeds capacity. The University of Sunderland contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology and counselling programmes, and a private therapy sector exists alongside NHS provision. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the psychological effects of long-term unemployment and community decline that have affected many Wearside neighbourhoods.
