Expertise
Over the last 5 years I have developed an expertise in working with people with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and have helped many OCD sufferers to fully recover. I mainly use Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy as main treatment model. All OCD suffers have some very rigid, irrational beliefs about absolute certainty and safety and think: I absolutely must be safe under all conditions at all times’ and this drives some people into self-defeating rituals, counting’s and obsessions.
My treatment plan for OCD includes some of the following:
or completely eradicate them.

Please note OCD is not only obsessive handwashing. You could have OCD if you engage in any obsessive compulsive behaviour such as hording or obsessive thinking and much more. If you think you have OCD, but not sure, please book a one off assessment session without obligation, to find out. If you think you have OCD and you don’t address it, it only gets worse. Please remember, OCD is curable!
