About
Terri spent a number of years working for the NHS as a psychological wellbeing practitioner and cognitive behavioural therapist before joining Priory in 2017. She specialises in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related difficulties, including health anxiety, while also supporting individuals with depression and a broad range of mental health conditions.
Terri uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches for OCD such as exposure and response prevention (ERP). She works collaboratively with patients to understand how their difficulties developed, identify what is maintaining them, and support meaningful, lasting change in how they think, feel, and behave.
Terri is also a clinical supervisor, supporting and developing other therapists in their clinical practice. She has undertaken additional training in menopause, enabling her to support individuals experiencing the psychological impact of hormonal changes. As an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies (BABCP), Terri adheres to their ethical framework for good practice in psychotherapy.
Training
Terri holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology with Counselling (BSc) and a Master of Science in Health Psychology (MSc), alongside a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT. She trained at the University of Oxford, equipping her to work with a comprehensive range of mental health disorders, including those not typically treated within NHS IAPT services, with particular specialist training in OCD and complex anxiety presentations.
Research interests
Terri has completed research in the areas of positive psychology looking at happiness interventions, as well as working with children with brain tumours looking at their long-term quality of life post-surgical intervention.
