Helping you break free from OCD and obsessive overthinking


You don’t need more answers, you need to stop answering the questions……

Hi, I'm Jess!

Are you struggling with OCD, anxiety or chronic overthinking? I’m a Bristol (and online) based psychotherapist offering evidence based therapy, including CBT and ERP, to help you break free from intrusive thoughts and get back to living life.

"You’re not alone and change is possible."

If you’re caught in the relentless grip of OCD, anxiety or chronic overthinking, you’ll know how exhausting it feels. The constant loops of intrusive thoughts, doubt, compulsive behaviours, self-criticism, and shame can make even everyday moments feel like overwhelming battles.

As an experienced anxiety therapist based in Bristol and online, I understand how these patterns can take over your life – and how hard it is to break free on your own.

I specialise in OCD and anxiety therapy, helping individuals who feel stuck in obsessive thinking patterns and compulsive behaviours. Whether you are struggling with health anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or the constant need for certainty, you’re not alone and change is possible.

Using a a combination of evidence based therapies, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy) we’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck, and how to move forward.

You don’t have to keep living at the mercy of your thoughts. Therapy can help you stop treating every thought like a threat, so. you can reclaim your time, your energy, and your life.

About Me


Hi, I'm Jess Marriner,

I chose to retrain as a psychotherapist following a career in adult mental health social work, which spanned 15 years, and through which I realised the part I loved most was the emotional support I could offer those going through tricky life events.

Let’s Talk

I offer a free, no obligation, 20 minute consultation via telephone or video to briefly explore the difficulties you are seeing support with and for you to help decide if you’d like to work with me.

If I believe an alternative approach or service may be more suitable for you then I will make recommendations of alternative support.
