About Me - Online ERP Therapy for OCD

I have worked with many people experiencing OCD and their families, and this is one of the areas of my expertise. Now, I specialise in online therapy for OCD, among other areas. This way you can always have an ERP Therapist Near You, whenever and wherever you need it.

I am undertanding not judgemental, and I have been working with people struggling and suffering with intrussive distressing thougths for many years. As a CBT therapist in UK, EMDR and a registered mental health nurse.

Prior Covid-19, I worked face to face, online and via phone with people experiencing OCD in primary mental health.

I was work in secondary mental health services and now I am fully devoted to my online private therapy practice. I do so by using video conferencing, especially Online CBT Therapy for OCD, and it has been very successfull, where most people would search an “erp therapist near me”, now as an online ERP therapist, I am near my clients, regardless their location.

It has given people the opportunity to reach out and seek support without having to go through the ordeal of travelling, sitting in waiting areas, and other barriers that impacted on their wishes to change. Online ERP therapy gives the opporunity to balance all the aspects of your day to day life, without the need to sacrificy efficacy.

If you want to know how much ocd therapy cost, or what entails, we can have a free consultation for ERP therapy.

CBT for OCD could focus more on the Cognitive Therapy (CT), approaches such as Salkowski, or behavioural (Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)), such as Foa. These two surnames may not tell you anything, but these are two well know researchers. Research has shown that, CT focused CBT therapy for OCD has less dropout rate but is slightly less effective. ERP has higher dropout rate, but it is the gold standard that other treatments get measured against. Through my experience and interest, I have always preferred ERP. Especially, as ERP can be done imaginal (which is you contact me here, I will be happy to explain) and this is very useful tool when working online. However, in recent times I am using a mixture of both, as research shows that a combination of ERP and CT (which could be considered CBT, but this is a lengthier subject to discuss here) has better outcomes than either of them separately.

CBT is formulation driven, you can read on these by clicking here, and for us to be able to draw your individual roadmap, I use a drawing tablet/board that is connected to the PC and I can share it with you during the session and email it after.

So, in my current practice, I deliver Online Therapy for OCD using both approaches, as it appears to have better outcomes.

Is Online ERP Conselling for OCD right for You?

You or a loved one experience OCD, you must know how difficult is living with this condition. I only can say one word: Motivation. Motivation is the key, whether online or face to face, I work on motivation regularly with Sports Performance Anxiety as well and with CBT for Day to Day Challenges . As I said before in one of my entries, you want to make the most out of your money. You are paying and I will make sure that you get the best treatment I am passionate about; I have been taught and studied. But, you are the one who needs to “DO” the therapy. I cannot walk in your shoes.

In a face to face session, I would physically walk along you, and I have never asked anyone to do anything that I would not do myself. However, I have walked virtually along with my current clients and they have felt supported throughout the process.

Practicalities of Online CBT for OCD

  • Internet connection: you need a good internet connection and a backup, so if we a re doing a Google Meet or Skype and you use the laptop and the WI-FI or the battery fails, you need to have data on your phone so you can continue and maybe the phone charger. Maybe even change to another platform like Signal or WhatsApp.
  • Privacy: you need a room or a space that you can be quiet, undisturbed. Where you feel safe to share your thoughts and the impact on them.
