OCD can be treated
Having previously suffered from OCD, I chose this area to specialise in after completing an Honours Degree in Psychology (accredited with BPS).
Knowing how torturous it can be I wanted to help others who suffered from this disorder.
I undertook a Diploma in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour and a Postgraduate Level 7 Practitioners Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/Psychotherapy, full affiliation with the National Council of Psychotherapists and a registered member of BABCP.
For the past 25 years I have studied and researched OCD, working with people who suffer from mild to severe cases of OCD using Exposure Response Prevention Therapy and approximately 10 years ago, I set up a support group for people with OCD.
The most important message that I wish people suffering from OCD to receive is that, it can be treated.
