Best for

This provider is best suited for adults (18+) experiencing OCD, anxiety and related difficulties such as low mood or stress who want structured, evidence-based psychological treatment. They work with people who are ready to engage in active therapy and who may benefit from both in-person and online formats.

• Adults with OCD and obsessive thoughts
• People struggling with anxiety and overthinking
• Clients experiencing depression, stress or burnout-related difficulties

Approach

The practice uses evidence-based therapeutic models and tailors therapy to the individual’s needs and goals. A key modality offered is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is described as the gold-standard treatment for OCD. Treatment is formulated collaboratively and is goal-focused.

Therapy typically involves assessment followed by structured treatment sessions that may include cognitive-behavioural techniques, ERP and other core therapeutic approaches depending on client needs. Dr White offers free telephone consultations to explore whether an assessment would be helpful before committing to therapy.

Work may include preparation for treatment, in-session exposures or skills practice, and planned review of progress. The clinician also provides resources and signposting to supplement formal therapy.

Education and Training

The clinician holds BSc (Hons) and DClinPsy qualifications and is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and chartered with the British Psychological Society (BPS). Professional designations listed include CPsychol, CSci and AFBPsS, reflecting advanced training and professional recognition.

Support

Clients receive structured support throughout assessment and treatment, including an initial telephone consultation and ongoing clinical review. The practice emphasises clear communication, confidentiality and an ethical framework consistent with HCPC and BPS standards.

Preparation and integration are built into the therapeutic process where relevant, and practical guidance is offered to help clients apply skills between sessions. The clinician aims to respond to enquiries within 24-48 hours and to be accessible for scheduling and clinical questions within agreed boundaries.
