OCD psychologists

How we work

Our approach has grown through clinical work with many people living with OCD. Their experiences and what we have learned together have deepened our understanding and encouraged us to explore new ways of working. We remain curious about how OCD operates in everyday life and continue to refine our methods.

We look at both visible compulsions and mental strategies. Thoughts, analysis, doubt and mental rituals can all function as attempts to obtain relief, certainty or control. Understanding the role these efforts play in someone’s life guides how we combine exposure and response prevention (ERP) with cognitive and metacognitive techniques.

In our clinical work, we agree on practical steps that fit each person’s goals and circumstances, with a clear purpose for each exercise. Together, we review what they have tried in everyday life, what they have learned and what proved difficult, and adjust the exercises and pace accordingly.
