Alexa Roxborough

I am a chartered senior clinical psychologist and BABCP-accredited cognitive-behavioural therapist offering highly effective CBT for anxiety disorders. 

I specialise in: obsessive-compulsive disorder, health anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia, specific phobia of vomiting (emetophobia), post-traumatic stress disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, hoarding, body dysmorphic disorder, work-related stress and anxiety. I have particular expertise in perinatal and maternal OCD, and am experienced in working with lesser-known forms of OCD such as mental contamination. Furthermore, I am well-versed in working with the relationship difficulties and low mood that can arise in the presence of anxiety disorders and postnatal mental health problems. 

My style is warm, informal, and collaborative. I passionately believe in 'doing what works' in therapy- for anxiety disorders this usually involves exposure and facing fears. However, this is always done entirely at your own pace and in a manageable way. 

Although CBT is my primary model, I draw on other models under the CBT 'umbrella' including schema therapy, DBT, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) where indicated by the formulation (i.e. individualised map of the problem). I am a scientist-practitioner and always follow the evidence base and track outcomes closely to help clients achieve their goals.
