Begin With an Assessment
A professional OCD assessment is a vital first step in finding the right treatment. It allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your symptoms, history, and individual therapy needs, so we can recommend the most clinically appropriate and effective treatment plan. You’re welcome to ask any questions during the session, and if you prefer, you can have a supportive person join you.

Frequently Asked Questions
THE EVIDENCE
Why Intensive Treatment Is So Effective for OCD
Why the intensive format? For those clients who require a swift recovery there is no doubt that our one-to-one intensive treatment is the optimum choice. For our clients who have moderate or severe OCD and are looking at this option, the strongly habitual elements of OCD respond best to an intensive format. We began seeing higher success rates in our clients who completed our intensive course when we first introduced it in 2003. The evidence we have observed from treating thousands of people with OCD is that the intensive format works more swiftly and has less incidence of relapse than traditional weekly treatment.
"Remarkable and rapid benefits of intensive daily cognitive-behavioural therapy [CBT] for OCD, even for patients who had not responded well to standard treatment previously."
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE PET SCAN STUDY, 4 WEEKS OF INTENSIVE THERAPY
So we weren't surprised when this study, using PET scans of patients who completed 4 weeks of intensive therapy, confirmed what we've seen clinically for years.
"Intensive CBT should be the treatment of choice for patients whose OCD has been refractory to standard treatments."
