OCD Therapy

FAQ

  • No. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. If you struggle with obsessive thoughts, anxiety, overthinking, or compulsive behaviours—even if they don’t “look like” typical OCD—we can explore that together.

  • The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. You can tell me what’s been going on, what you’re hoping for, and ask any questions. I’ll explain how I work and we’ll talk about next steps—at your pace.

  • ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) involves facing fears and resisting compulsions in small, manageable steps. It’s challenging, but never done without your consent or input. You won’t be thrown in the deep end—we plan every step together.

  • Yes. OCD therapy works very well online. In fact, doing ERP from your own environment can be even more effective for certain types of OCD. We’ll use secure video calls and tailor everything to your pace.

  • That’s more common than you might think. Not all therapy is the same, and OCD often requires specific approaches like ERP or ACT. We’ll work in a focused, structured way—and adjust things to suit your needs.

  • That depends on the person. Some people make progress in a few months; others stay longer to work through layers. We’ll check in regularly and make sure it’s still helpful and relevant for you.

  • Yes. Many people with OCD also have ADHD or are autistic. I adapt therapy to suit your neurotype, attention style, and energy levels. It’s not one-size-fits-all.

  • Totally valid—and incredibly common. OCD can make your brain feel like a scary or shameful place. But nothing you say will shock me. I’ve lived with OCD myself, and I know how strange or intrusive thoughts can get. This is a safe space to be real.
