Most of us have, at some time, felt uncertain about leaving the iron or the stove on and some have even gone home to check. This type of behavior is just normal and doesn't cause any damage or harm in one's life. However, if you have intrusive "what if" thoughts, and your need to perform these behaviors on a regular basis and they interfere with your daily life, then you might be suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD is a condition marked by irrational beliefs (obsessions) and rituals (compulsions). The obsessions are recurrent, unwanted thoughts that are difficult or impossible for you to ignore and cause you anxiety. By performing repetitive, ritualized compulsions, you (temporarily) ease your anxiety. It may, for example, be that you often wash your hands very thoroughly, or check all the locks in your home. You may feel like you "have" to do these rituals. These thoughts and behaviors most likely take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you significant stress which can cause tension in your relationships and other aspects of your life.

Luckily there is hope, even if you have tried to stop your compulsions before and it has not been as successful as you would like. Our therapy for OCD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will identify what triggers your OCD. You will learn how to face your obsessions and find ways to refrain from ritualizing. Eventually you will be able to face these triggers without the need to perform your normal rituals (like washing your hands several times in a row or checking the lights numerous times). You will discover how to replace these negative thoughts with more realistic ones. Eventually you will be in charge of the thoughts and behaviors that previously have been fueling your OCD, so that you can live life free from obsessions and compulsions.

"Belinda is a really responsive therapist (even “out of hours”). I’ve only signed up for the worksheets and messaging service but I’ve got so much out of this so far. It’s obviously a very personal journey. I’ve been very active sometimes and then others less so - taking a step back to just take things in - Belinda reads this brilliantly. She is very supportive and reassuring."

"My therapist, Tina, is amazing and she has been like a breath of fresh air for me. She genuinely has been helping me so much. And she has been helping me and my partner, so so much. We feel better connected already."

"Stephanie has been incredible. Welcoming; a sense of safety and ability to share and converse like you are confiding in someone trustworthy of your emotions. Highly recommend to anyone feeling overwhelmed and open to learning coping strategies ... even if you think you are just fine!"

"I started off with two phone calls a week because I was in a crisis. I can’t afford that now, but the help that I am getting is really helpful I don’t know which therapist you would get if you’re reading this trying to get an appointment, but the worksheets are really great so you can do healing on your own time as well as work with your therapist"
