OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions). Individuals with OCD may find themselves trapped in a cycle of anxiety and ritualistic actions, often feeling overwhelmed by their thoughts. Through talk therapy, we aim to help clients identify the underlying fears driving their obsessions and develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage anxiety. Our therapists create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of their condition.Skill building is an essential component of our approach to treating OCD. We teach clients practical strategies to challenge their compulsive behaviours and reduce anxiety levels. This may include exposure and response prevention (ERP), where clients gradually face their fears in a controlled environment, allowing them to learn that their anxiety will decrease over time. By integrating both therapeutic conversations and skill-building exercises, we empower individuals with OCD to regain control over their lives and reduce the impact of their symptoms.
