Firstly, I just wanted to say what a brilliant company I have found Beyond Borders CBT to work with. I was very sceptical doing online therapy sessions but wouldn't think twice about it now. Your whole offering and experience is brilliant and super easy. Secondly, I just wanted rave about the wonderful Melissa. I've suffered with OCD for many years, had lot's of different types of therapy but, never actually worked with an OCD expert before, as they are very hard to find here. Melissa is so knowledgeable about the disorder and really understands the treatment process. She's been absolutely inspirational and a true rock in my progress, being on hand when I need her, explaining my irrational thoughts and helping me come through a really difficult period. She's taught me things I didn't know about OCD and worked in a way that suited my needs. In Melissa I have found a therapist that I can trust and know will be there for me as I continue to learn to live with the wonderful OCD!
