We work with individuals experiencing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including those with severe, complex or long-standing symptoms. Many of our clients come to us after struggling for years, feeling stuck despite previous treatment or unsure where to turn next. At The OCD Treatment Centre, we provide specialist assessment and evidence-based treatment tailored to the individual. We recognise that life experiences, trauma and emotional difficulties can influence OCD and recovery, and our goal is to help clients regain confidence, reduce compulsions and reclaim the areas of life that OCD has restricted.
The OCD Treatment Centre specialises exclusively in OCD. We provide evidence-based treatment informed by Inference-Based CBT (ICBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), delivered through weekly therapy, intensive treatment programmes and group treatment. Treatment is tailored to the individual and available online or in person.
Having experienced OCD myself, I understand how distressing and isolating it can be. Recovery is possible, even when symptoms have been present for many years or previous treatment has not helped. If you contact The OCD Treatment Centre, our team will help you identify the most appropriate next step.
