OCD

Do you want to take control of your life again?

Compulsive behaviour can take many forms, from the well known need for constant hand washing, or checking that things are unplugged/locked to fear of harmful thoughts or actions.
Usually the obsession is in the form of a fear or anxiety and the compulsive behaviour is a way of handling it. One thing is for sure, it is has a huge influence on the sufferer’s life.

There is still much debate about what exactly causes OCD.
Sometimes it runs in families, sometimes it follows a traumatic emotional event. It has been linked with a chemical imbalance in the brain and also with susceptibility to stress.

The good news is that in the majority of cases it can be treated and controlled. Exactly how we go about it will depend on the individual so detailed consultation will be required to decide how to proceed. Why not book a free twenty minute consultation and see where we go from there?
