CBT Therapy for OCD.

Everyone experiences Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) differently and will be diverse and complex.

OCD is often identified by two types of beliefs. A belief that they are responsible for preventing harm coming to themselves, a loved one, or others insinuating a belief of inflated responsibility. The other type of belief is where there is an overestimation of threat. The belief is that things are riskier than they actually are.

For someone with OCD, these beliefs are present in the form of worries or often described as intrusive thoughts. These thoughts are so believable and seem very likely to happen that a person’s sense of responsibility means that they feel they must act in order to prevent it. In other words, the two beliefs create an ever-increasing cycle of obsessions and compulsions.

Even if the level of danger is assessed to be relatively low by the person with OCD, their heightened sense of responsibility will dictate their need to carry out a compulsion. OCD is driven by the fear of consequences, no matter how unlikely they are.

Our team of therapists is experienced in helping people identify their intrusive thoughts and the compulsions they are carrying out as a result.

Following a comprehensive assessment, we are able to identify the course of treatment known as Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

Each session will have a small homework task that will help you progress in the battle against OCD. Your therapist will never give you anything to do that they wouldn’t do themselves.

We help, individuals, couples, children (7+) and specialise in helping individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

We are all fully qualified CBT Psychotherapists with University Degrees in addition to our 2 years CBT Training.

We are all fully accredited members of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.

Impossible Mental Health Limited is fully insured both professionally and clinically with Zurich Insurance.

Therapy can be funded privately by card payment or through your personal/employee Health Insurance policy.

We regularly work with clients of BUPA, WPA, Cigna, Aiva, Allianz, H3 and AXA.

Our sessions are one hour long and cost £90.

The fee includes additional time for your therapist to prepare before and document after your session.

CBT is a short term therapy. Treatment usually requires between 8 and 20 weekly sessions.
