I am a certified and trained in Habit Reversal Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Ritual Therapy, for OCD and Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics/Tourette's for children and adolescents. These therapies are available face to face and online. 

​

Therapeutic success is individual for each client. Research shows that the most effective therapeutic support combines cognitive, behavioural, emotional and physiological approaches.

​

The most important aspect of therapeutic support is the relationship and trust between the child and my self. It is also important that the child has interoceptive self awareness of how experiences and emotions feel within their body. We work together on these therapeutic aspects before we move into the more structured OCD, TICS or Tourette's focused cognitive and behavioural therapies. 

​

Some of my clients live with neuro immune brain inflammation flares and experience OCD and Tic behaviours of differing levels of strength. As with all clients we work on individual needs but geneally in flare ups we find it is more effective to focus on emotional therapeutic support through the flare and focus on behavioural and cognitive support between flares.
