Thanks for the help guys I will have a look into it

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for private therapists in Newcastle that have helped them with their OCD. I have tried a few already but didn't really feel like they specialised in OCD and because of that, never really felt that they fully understood my mental health. So if anyone has had success with someone nearby, it would be great if you could let me know where to find them :)

Seeking a bit of assistance as my ocd is starting to interfere with my relationship and just wondering what other people have done to fix it/make it better. My obsessions for the most part are now all fixated on her and I find myself constantly battling with thoughts that something could go wrong even though it couldn't be going any better. I find myself fixated on different ideas of how she's could break my trust or hurt me in some way and at times I feel like I'm unsure what is real and what is irrational and end up having a go at her for it. She does understand what I'm going through and it doesn't even seem to phase her but worry that as time goes on I'll end up just pushing her away. It just seems like the happier I become the more I worry how much it'll hurt and the more intense the thoughts get. For context I should mention that I suffered a lot of psychological and sometimes physical abuse in my previous relationship, and they were not understanding of my ocd at all, and I'm not sure if I've just carried some trauma over from that, but I remember that my ocd was definitely somewhat of an issue then too.
