We work with patients with mood and anxiety disorders like OCD, phobias, and depression, with the aim of helping them improve their quality of life. We offer CBT therapy in person in Friern Barnet, in North London. We also offer online therapy.

The disorders we treat include:

OCD and related disorders

Depression

  • Unipolar, Bipolar Disorder, Peri-Natal or Seasonal Affective Disorder

Anxiety disorders

  • Specific Phobias (especially emetophobia, a fear of vomiting)

  • Panic Disorder & Agoraphobia

  • Social Anxiety Disorder

  • PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Sleep disorders

  • Phase advance and phase delay disorders and insomnia

Conditions for which we do not generally offer treatment

We don’t generally take on as out-patients those with a problem of:

  • Psychosis that requires stabilisation first

  • Alcohol or drug dependence requiring treatment first

  • Severe depressive disorder requiring hospitalisation first, for example a risk of suicide or self-neglect

  • Anorexia, bulimia nervosa or an eating disorder that requires admission (for example very low body weight)

  • Emotionally Unstable or Borderline Personality disorder which is the main problem or requires stabilisation first

  • Dissociative disorders which require stabilisation first

  • Any condition where there is a significant risk to the individual or family members (for example suicide, self-neglect, violence)

If in doubt (e.g., where patient has OCD and another condition) or an addiction please email us and Professor David Veale will offer an assessment to advise on the right pathway that could include admission to hospital or suitable therapists.
