Specialist therapy for anxiety, OCD, and misophonia

Dr Tom Graham

I am an HCPC registered and BABCP Accredited Counselling Psychologist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for adults. My work in specialist NHS services has led to expertise in treating anxiety related problems, and I have helped many people overcome their struggles with OCD, health anxiety, emetophobia, BDD, panic, social anxiety, specific phobias, and PTSD. For many years I have also worked in researching and treating misophonia, and I am among a small number of clinical experts in this area.

Having worked at the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, my current NHS commitments are at Oxford Health Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre. Outside of this, I offer private appointments via video call using Microsoft Teams. In person appointments may be possible in St Albans. Get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute call to discuss your difficulties and see whether I can help. I’m always happy to be contacted and to answer any questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

  • Misophonia

  • Generalised anxiety disorder

  • Social anxiety

  • Phobias (including emetophobia)

    Thank you - your sessions quite literally transformed my life! I'd lived with my disorder for so long that I was unable to imagine a world without it, and I was a little sceptical before I started my sessions with you. You provided me with a supportive, empathetic, non-judgemental space to discuss things, and your understanding of my disorder and thought patterns often caught me off guard - you really seemed to understand me better than I did. I have recommended your sessions to several friends, and would very much encourage anyone thinking about starting therapy with you to give it a go. Diving in is the hard part - you were there to make sure I reached the other side safely!

    Tom tailored his approach very specifically to my needs, and over a relatively short space of time helped lay the groundwork for a huge improvement in my misophonia - our sessions have put me on the right path for further improvements and management of it going forward.

  • Client feedback

    Tom is a fantastic therapist and I can’t recommend him enough. Insightful, compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive, working with him has made me a happier, more content person. He has helped me to navigate and heal my OCD and recover on past traumas. Most importantly, he has helped me practice self-compassion, which has made an overwhelming difference to my life.

  • Client feedback

    My sessions with Tom have helped me to cope far better with my Misophonia. I can now manage my issue far more quickly and effectively. Misophonia no longer affects my quality of life the way it did previously and I feel far better equipped to deal with the issues that this condition can cause. Tom was very easy to talk to right from the beginning, he listened to me and guided me to healthier ways of thinking. I'm extremely grateful for the help I've received.

  • Client feedback

    Working with Tom has given me the skillset and confidence to make the initial steps and progress towards tackling OCD after many years of suffering.
