OCD
Unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that feel hard to resist. CBT, especially ERP, can loosen OCD's grip.
What it is
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves intrusive thoughts, images or urges that feel distressing and hard to control, followed by compulsions — repeated behaviours or mental acts — aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing feared outcomes.
How CBT helps
CBT for OCD, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is the leading evidence-based treatment. It helps you face feared situations without performing compulsions, allowing anxiety to rise and fall naturally and weakening the OCD cycle.
What therapy looks like
We will build a shared understanding of your OCD patterns at a pace that feels safe. Together we create a step-by-step plan to gradually face triggers while resisting compulsions, supported by practical tools between sessions.
When to seek help
If intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviours are taking up significant time, causing distress, or interfering with daily life, therapy can help you regain control. You do not need a formal diagnosis to begin support.
