Ms Carina Luxford

Counselor

“I am an experienced and empathic therapist with managed OCD, whose main focus is helping my clients to manage this condition.”

About Me

As an experienced and empathic therapist, I focus on helping clients navigate OCD. My approach is deeply informed by understanding the condition firsthand, having managed it myself. We can work collaboratively. Together, we will explore your specific patterns and build practical strategies for daily life. Clients feeling overwhelmed by OCD often find my guidance creates a clear path towards regaining a sense of control.

Approach

Understanding how intrusive thoughts can reroute a day, I orient sessions around steady, practical steps that feel manageable and realistic. Sessions in Basildon or online, in English or Swedish, move at a pace you set — short, focused experiments in-session and clear, doable tasks between meetings. I use gentle exposure ideas alongside reflective check-ins so you can notice shifts without feeling overwhelmed. People who want hands-on, everyday tools to reduce OCD’s hold often find this approach helpful.
