Meet Sarah, a valued member of our LCP Client Relationship Team.

Sarah’s goal is to help make starting therapy feel less daunting and to support clients in taking that first step with confidence.

Sarah recently completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and is excited to continue her studies as she works toward becoming a clinical psychologist. Through her volunteer experiences, she has seen firsthand the powerful impact that feeling safe, understood, and supported can have on growth and wellbeing, and she shares a strong commitment to compassionate, client-centred care.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys getting lost in a good book, spending time with friends and family, and planning her next travel adventure. When she’s not doing that, you’ll usually find her hanging out with her two ridgebacks, Kyza and Lola 🐾

Welcome, Sarah!

FAQs about the OCD group at Lawson Clinical Psychology

Are you interested in joining a group therapy session? Perhaps you have heard about our upcoming OCD group starting on the 3rd of March?

Feeling unsure about joining a group? That’s understandable. We are here to answer any questions you might have about our groups.

Q: What should I expect when attending my first group session?

A: Most or all of the first group session will usually be an ‘introductory session’. After arriving, you will meet with your therapists and fellow group members. During this time, your therapist will discuss expectations for the group and provide any necessary information related to confidentiality or other details related to participation. Once everyone has introduced themselves, your therapists will then invite a shared discussion about the goals of the group (e.g. to learn ways to manage anxiety, worry, OCD, emotions), and will share an overview of the information and skills that will be covered throughout the coming weeks of the program.

Contact groups@lawsonpsychology.com.au to find out more about our 10 week ‘Break free from OCD’ group starting 3rd March 2026!

If you saw our recent post on OCD symptoms, you may be wondering how you can break free from unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive rituals.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD.

ERP involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations, while learning to resist engaging in repetitive rituals or compulsions.

With the guidance of a therapist, repeated exposure exercises help clients learn that anxiety reduces naturally over time - helping clients break free from OCD.

If you are seeking support, our upcoming ‘Break Free from OCD’ group therapy program offers structured, science-backed strategies in a supportive group setting.

Sleep is not only about physical rest - it is about regulation.

When our sleep is disrupted, the brain does not fully down-regulate and can remain in a state of heightened arousal. 🚨

When the nervous system stays on high alert, sleep becomes physiologically more difficult, with flow-on effects for emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and cognitive clarity 🧠. This is why simply trying harder to sleep often backfires.

Effective support focuses on calming the nervous system and addressing the thoughts and behaviours that keep the brain on high alert. ‼️

With small, intentional changes, guided by evidence-based strategies, we can create meaningful improvements in sleep and overall wellbeing 🛌🧘‍♀️.

If sleep has been an ongoing challenge, support is available. 🤝 Our team of clinical psychologists work with you to understand the underlying drivers of your sleep difficulties and provide a tailored approach using evidence-informed care.

Contact us today to find out more or to schedule an appointment.

Did you know that OCD is often referred to as ‘the doubting disorder’? This is because individuals with OCD often experience persistent and intrusive thoughts that cause them to doubt their own actions, memory, and decisions.

These thoughts can be so overwhelming that they lead to compulsive behaviours, such as excessive checking or reassurance-seeking, or mental rumination, in an attempt to alleviate the anxiety caused by the doubt.

People with OCD are often highly intelligent, and may be very self-aware that their doubts are illogical and excessive. This can lead them to worry that they are ‘going crazy’ or ‘losing their mind’ because they cannot shake them off and stop their negative thoughts or compulsions.

In fact, because OCD doubts are unwanted and intrusive, logically analysing them typically does not resolve the doubts. Trying to ‘logic away OCD’ is a bit like trying to get out of a hole by digging in further, and usually has the opposite effect of reinforcing the OCD overthinking spiral!

Need support breaking free of spiraling obsessive thoughts and doubts? We have a range of group skills classes that can help you learn science-backed strategies to do just that!
