Specialist Sessions for Anxiety & OCD Relapse

For high-functioning adults concerned that anxiety or OCD may be returning.

I offer structured, one-to-one sessions for adults who can feel a flare beginning, sometimes before anyone else would notice it.

Many of the people I work with have lived through anxiety, panic, or OCD before. They recognise the particular tone of it. They know how quickly it can gather. They have worked carefully to build steadiness, and that steadiness matters to them.

When a flare begins, most people are not looking to start again from the beginning. They want reassurance that it can be contained. They want to revisit the approaches that have worked before, steady their thinking, and prevent escalation.

They want help protecting what they have already rebuilt.

In our sessions, we focus on stabilising what is happening now. We identify what has shifted, what is being triggered, and what is still intact. We return to skills that have proven effective in the past, and strengthen them where needed. Where patterns are re-forming, we work carefully to interrupt them before they consolidate.

This work is steady and structured. It is not about dramatic carthasis or reinvention. It is about containment, clarity, and preventing a flare from becoming another destabilising event in your life.

Who This Is For

This work is for adults in midlife who have lived through anxiety or OCD before and can feel something familiar beginning to stir. You know the particular tone of it.

You may notice:

• Sleep becoming lighter or more broken
• Intrusive thoughts returning more often, or feeling harder to dismiss
• Panic rising in a way that feels familiar rather than new
• Disproportionate reactions to ordinary events
• Feeling more easily overwhelmed, tearful, irritable, or on edge
• Checking, reassurance seeking, or mental reviewing creeping back in
• A background vigilance that will not fully switch off
• Hyper-attunement to bodily sensations
• Wondering whether hormonal shifts are amplifying everything
• Comparing how you feel now with how steady you were
• The quiet but persistent thought: “I can’t go back there.”

You are not at the beginning.

You are recognising what this is and wanting to intervene before it gathers pace.

How Sessions Work

Sessions are 50 minutes and held online.

Frequency is typically weekly during periods of escalation, with the option to reduce to review-based support once stability returns.

Sessions are available to UK-based clients and internationally where appropriate, and are provided within the relevant professional and regulatory framework.
