What is OCD?

  • OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is when you’re compelled to commit to routines repetitively, finding it difficult to move past them.

  • These may orientate around food, weight, cleaning, or seeking reassurance in daily tasks.

  • If you’re unable to complete a routine, you may feel severe discomfort to the point where you develop harmful symptoms of anxiety.

How can MAPP help?

  • Our professional therapists offer treatments that are corroborated by strong empirical evidence.

  • The most promising form of treatment for OCD is talking therapy.

  • For example cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy involve identifying the root of the trigger causing an obsessive behaviour.

  • Such therapies can help you develop tolerance and resilience surrounding points of discomfort.

What causes OCD?

  • While the cause of OCD is unknown, there is consensus around a few risk factors including genetics, trauma, and stress-related events.

  • As well as anxiety, OCD can be connected to other mental health conditions. For instance, someone who has developed an eating disorder may also show signs of OCD.

What results can you expect?

  • Talking therapies will help you identify and analyse your trigger behaviours, before building strategies to tolerate and manage them.

  • Other solutions like mindfulness and meditation will allow you to observe yourself in a new light.

  • Taking that first step is often the most difficult, but we’re ready to help you face your difficulties with care and collaboration.

At MAPP, therapy starts with you.

Your psychologist takes the time to listen, then builds a plan around your goals and circumstances.

What makes that possible is the depth & range of training and experience our doctors of psychology bring to the table. Our psychologists are trained in a broad span of therapy modalities, from CBT and ACT to compassion-focused therapy, person-centred therapy and everything in between.

We fit the approach to you, not you to the approach, and regular check-ins keep it working as your needs change.

We're committed to giving you the support and tools you need to build towards a happier, healthier life.
