Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurobiological condition rather than a psychological or emotional condition. It is part of the anxiety family but it requires very specific interventions. Based on the work of Drs Jeffrey Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding, I offer metacognitive behaviour therapy which allows the person with OCD to see themselves as the thinker of the thoughts that are disturbing them. And then to change those thoughts.
Hello and welcome! I am a registered Arts Therapist and counselor based in Sydney. I provide art therapy and counselling to those experiencing OCD. Through my practice, I make an intentional commitment to support individuals in their health and wellbeing journey. My mission is to enrich and empower the lives of others through creativity and connection. My passion for expressive creative arts has inspired me to further explore how art can be used as a tool for healing, and the ways it can be used in mental health recovery as a psychotherapeutic modality.
Being able to live with OCD can be very challenging, and it's not always easy to cope with. As a psychotherapist, I'm dedicated to helping individuals with this condition manage their symptoms. Through a combination of evidence-based treatments and psychological therapy, I'll help them feel more comfortable and control their thoughts and behaviours.
I have experience working with people who have mild, moderate, and severe OCD. I generally take a CBT-based, exposure/response prevention approach when helping people to overcome OCD. This depends, of course, on your experience of OCD. I am also available to help autistic people manage OCD-like symptoms they find troubling.
Psychologist, Masters in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D.
OCD is one of the more brain-based or neurobiological of all the anxiety conditions. People get notoriously stuck in their fears and the rules around staying responsible, morally correct and safe. No matter how stuck you are, there are known treatments that can work and we have clinicians at this practice who can help.
