Evening and Online OCD Therapy at London Psychologist: Flexible CBT for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Living with OCD can be exhausting. Intrusive thoughts, doubts, urges and repetitive behaviours can consume hours each day, affecting work, relationships and quality of life. Many people struggling with OCD find it difficult to access specialist therapy during standard working hours, particularly when balancing work, family or other commitments.
At London Psychologist, we provide specialist evening and online CBT for OCD delivered by experienced Clinical Psychologists and BABCP-accredited CBT therapists.
What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common and treatable anxiety-related condition characterised by unwanted intrusive thoughts, images or urges (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions).
People with OCD often recognise that their fears are excessive or unreasonable, but still feel compelled to carry out rituals or avoidance behaviours to reduce anxiety.
Without treatment, OCD can become increasingly restrictive and interfere significantly with everyday life.
Common Symptoms of OCD
Common symptoms of OCD may include:
Excessive checking
Contamination fears and washing rituals
Repetitive reassurance seeking
Intrusive thoughts about harm
Relationship OCD (ROCD)
Health-related obsessions
Perfectionism and excessive doubt
Mental rituals such as reviewing, analysing or neutralising thoughts
Avoidance of feared situations
Difficulty tolerating uncertainty
How CBT Treats OCD
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is the treatment recommended by NICE for OCD.
Therapy helps individuals understand how OCD is maintained and gradually learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, urges and uncertainty.
Treatment may include:
Developing an individual CBT formulation
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Reducing compulsive rituals and reassurance seeking
Learning to tolerate uncertainty
Challenging unhelpful beliefs about responsibility and threat
