My name is Jess. I am a mum of two boys, 6 and 2 years old, one of which has autism. I am a psychotherapist experienced in working in perinatal mental health and OCD. I have also recently published a book for children about intrusive thoughts, thanks to the difficulties my son can have with these. I am a very honest therapist and am extremely passionate about sharing information and support for new and expectant parents, and around obsessive compulsive disorder. I have spent years helping those who have been damaged by therapists who don't know enough about OCD, so created an Instagram account to share advice to help people to access support that can really help them. I also have an Instagram account for my parenting work, which is not only about information-sharing, but it shows bits of my life and imperfections about a mum and also touches on topics such as parenting a child with autism, parenting with chronic pain, and generally challenging things like mum guilt. I would love to link in with some podcasts to reach even more people to help them to know how to access support. Perinatal OCD is a particular topic I would love to discuss, as it is something that is often not talked about and this can have a massive impact on someone's ability to get support for it.
