    What is OCD?

    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and the urge to perform certain behaviours or rituals (compulsions) to alleviate anxiety or distress. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and seeking help is a powerful step towards positive change.

    Therapeutic Techniques

    Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

    CBT is a highly effective approach for managing OCD. It focuses on identifying and challenging obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviours, providing you with practical tools to reframe your thinking and build healthy coping strategies.

    Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

    ERP is a cornerstone of OCD treatment. It involves gradually facing feared situations or thoughts without performing the associated compulsions. This controlled exposure helps desensitize your body's response to stressors, leading to profound breakthroughs.

    Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Approaches

    Learning to be present in the moment and accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings can significantly reduce OCD-related distress. We'll explore mindfulness practices and acceptance-based techniques to help you cultivate a sense of calm and centeredness.
