Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
COUNSELLING

As a result of your OCD you might be struggling with…

  • Persistent, unwanted thoughts or images that cause significant distress.
  • Engaging in repetitive rituals or actions to alleviate the anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts.
  • Spending excessive amounts of time performing rituals or checking behaviours, impacting daily life and responsibilities.
  • Constantly fearing harm to yourself or others, which leads to excessive precautionary measures.
  • Withdrawing from social activities and relationships due to the need to focus on rituals or avoid triggers.

You will be hoping to..

  • Learn to manage and reduce the anxiety caused by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.
  • Gain control over obsessive thoughts and lessen their impact on your daily life.
  • Develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies to manage compulsions.
  • Regain your ability to focus on work, school, or personal responsibilities without being hindered by OCD.
  • Reconnect with friends and family without the strain of OCD rituals or fears.
