We provide
treatment sessions for the full range of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – OCD
related problems via live video link. We work with complex and refractory OCD
presentations, often seeing clients that have experienced disappointing results
with other private therapy providers.
Our
specialist OCD clinic is delivered by live video link, using the exact same
approach as face-to-face therapy sessions. The added benefit is that you can do
this from the comfort of your own home or workplace, without the time and
disruption of travel and waiting rooms.
In addition to Contamination, Checking, Harm, Orderliness/Symmetry and Primarily Obsessional forms of OCD, William has significant experience working with the formulation and treatment of idiosyncratic forms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In our experience, whilst the psychological processes behind OCD have a number common factors, many individuals have unique characteristics based on their own background and experiences.

Consistent with the published evidence base for the effective treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, we draw on different Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) models to support recovery from OCD related problems. This includes:
We always
start with a brief informal call to understand the problem and discuss therapy
options.
If we are confident that we can help, an initial 60 minute appointment will normally be arranged within one week.
The initial
appointment is followed up with a written report, including a formal diagnosis,
outline of the psychological processes that maintain the OCD and a treatment
plan with timescales.
OCD therapy
plans are customized to the individual’s needs and always draw on evidence
based approaches from the field of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy. This will
usually include ACT, I-CBT and ERP. To book an

Whilst the therapy process is always individually tailored to meet the specific needs of each client, we follow a structured and phased approach that delivers fast results and sustainable therapeutic outcomes for our clients. Consistent with the research evidence base, Our treatment approach will almost always incorporate strategies from mainstream CBT, behavioural psychology including ERP, Inference Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This will include the following approaches:
It may also be helpful to integrate mindfulness
strategies and focus of attention training to augment the above treatment strategies. We normally plan on between eight to sixteen therapy sessions to complete the
above work. Progress always depends on the level of complexity, personal commitment and behavioural
adherence to the tasks agreed and approaches agreed during sessions.
Our therapy approach is based on solid scientific research, delivered by professionally qualified therapists, with over ten years specialist experience consulting in the field of OCD treatment.
Other approaches including interpersonal, relational, psychoanalytic and psychodynamic counselling, are less effective for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and could make the problem worse. Always work with a professionally qualified and BABCP accredited therapist with demonstrable specialist experience in the treatment of OCD.
