OCD & Pure-O

OCD causes unwanted thoughts or images that trigger anxiety, leading to repetitive behaviours or mental rituals for relief. In Pure-O, those rituals happen in the mind, through rumination or checking, making the struggle invisible but just as real. I use evidence-based OCD treatment, including ERP and ACT-informed work, that targets the loop directly.

  • OCD

    Obsessions and compulsions that feel hard to interrupt.

    Help me with OCD

    OCD is a false-alarm loop where obsessions drive compulsions, checking, avoidance or reassurance-seeking. ERP is the gold-standard treatment: it supports you to face intrusive thoughts and fears without doing compulsions, breaking the cycle and retraining the brain over time.

    • ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) as the core approach
    • Specific work for compulsions, checking and reassurance-seeking
    • Pacing that is firm but kind, with measurable progress

  • Pure-O

    Intrusive thoughts and mental rituals that can stay hidden from the outside.

    Help me with Pure-O

    Pure-O is OCD where the compulsions mostly happen internally, through rumination, mental checking, neutralising or reassurance loops. I target these hidden rituals with the same evidence-based OCD principles, without treating the thoughts themselves as the problem to solve.

    • Map the mental rituals that keep the loop alive
    • Reduce rumination, reassurance-seeking and covert checking
    • Use ERP and ACT-informed work at a workable pace
