Women with anxiety, panic and OCD.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

General anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety, agoraphobia
Disordered eating and body image issues
Trauma
Questioning and second guessing yourself
Anger and resentments
Difficult family relationships
Worrying that you are a bad person, or capable of bad things
Feeling like you are going crazy and losing control of yourself and your emotions
Being preoccupied with planning and preparing, so it takes you away from the present moment
Worrying a lot about the future, about being inefficient, inconvenient, wasting your time, or not optimising your quality of life
Loneliness, a sense of obligation, exhaustion from giving, a drained social battery, and a tendency to keep to yourself rather than receive care and attention back from others

How Samantha works

“I specialise in evidence based practice for OCD, panic and anxiety, and how this intersects with being female, potential neurodiversity, trauma and the individual's wider relationships.”

A common worry

“If I tell a therapist my thought, will they take my kids?”

It’s understandable to worry about this, especially if you’re having a thought that feels frightening, intrusive, or shameful. Having a scary thought does not automatically mean your children are at risk or that anyone is going to take them away.

I have a duty to risk assess, but there’s also an important distinction between having an unwanted or intrusive thought and intending to act on it.

Therapy is confidential, with some important legal and ethical limits. I would aim to be transparent with you about any concerns.

You don’t have to hide the thought to keep your family safe. In fact, being able to talk openly about frightening thoughts is often an important part of figuring out what they mean and what support you need.
