Home – About Me
Hey, I’m Kay
I’m a therapist based in Devon, but I work with people all over the UK thanks to the wonders of Zoom. My own experience of living with OCD is what led me down the path professionally—and these days, most of the people I support are also navigating OCD in some form.
I’m a skills-based therapist, which means I’ll support you to build practical tools and confidence, so you can become your own OCD therapist in a way that works for you. We go at your pace, always with kindness, humour and a whole lot of compassion.
🌊 I live by the sea and love a coastal walk.
🎨 I love using creative tools in therapy—anything from metaphors to visual aids.
📚 I’m always learning and training—I’m a bit of a therapy nerd.
☕ You’ll often find me working with a cup of coffee and my dog Ruby by my feet.
📺 Favourite comfort watch: Friends.

The Values That Guide My Work
🧡 Kindness over shame – You are not broken. You’ve been doing your best with a very loud brain.
🧡 Honesty and collaboration – We’ll work together, side-by-side. I’ll never push you into something you’re not ready for.
🧡 Flexibility and creativity – Every brain is different. We’ll find what works for yours.
🧡 Courage and small steps – Progress doesn’t have to be perfect. Showing up is enough.
🧡 Living by what matters – OCD takes you away from what you care about. Therapy helps you find your way back.
Neurodiversity and OCD
I welcome neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, autism, or who identify somewhere on the neurodivergent spectrum. It’s really common for neurodivergence to sit alongside OCD, and I hold that in mind throughout our work together.
While I’m not a neurodiversity specialist, I work in a flexible way that adapts to your unique brain and how you experience the world—no masking, no pressure, just space to be fully you.
