Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted and intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive compulsive behaviours as an attempt to ease anxiety. These obsessive patterns can make you feel trapped in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and rituals that disrupt your life and cause significant distress.
If you find yourself consumed by rituals or thoughts that you can't control, spending a significant amount of time on these compulsions, or feeling governed by your fears and anxieties, it is important to seek professional help.
OCD is a challenging disorder, but with a tailored holistic therapeutic approach, we aim to enable you to learn how to manage these troublesome symptoms and begin to understand their place in your emotional life.
Our therapists are trained in specific approaches to help you regain control over your repetitive patterns and find a path to move forward. OCD symptoms are often part of an underlying anxiety disorder.

Underpinning the therapeutic interventions is a comprehensive assessment of the underlying conscious and unconscious drivers of your OCD. Our treatments are designed to reduce the intensity of OCD symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
