We have 4 methods of treatment, all of which can be mixed and matched to achieve the most effective treatment programme. Each client has an assessment with India which then allows her to create a treatment programme unique to that individual and their OCD.
We also have an option for Carers.
Telephone Treatment
For clients unable to come into the centre regularly due to their OCD making it difficult to travel or indeed because of their location. Many clients outside of London and indeed the UK find this method as helpful as in-person sessions. This method is especially for suitable for people with Pure O. It is not appropriate for acute Contamination.
In-Person Treatment
In-person treatment is most routinely held on a weekly basis at our centre in Victoria. This treatment can, like telephone, be moulded to fit in with a client's lifestyle thereby allowing a client to choose more than weekly or where appropriate fortnightly or monthly. In-person treatment can also take place in a person's home where OCD can be integral. Home treatment is an option only for clients who for instance are housebound, cannot travel and/or need work within their homes or with family members.
Online Skills For Life Course
An interactive online self help course. The Skills for Life Programme is based upon 4 key working areas: education, cognitive skills, behavioural skills and anxiety management. We work quickly in the initial stages to stablise the situation before working on longer term management skills. Secondly we work with you to put in place key cognitive skills. The behaviour section we have developed is quite different from examples you may have seen or read about in the media. It is, however, highly effective and our unique approach is hands-on and based upon your goals, not ours. Finally, anxiety management skills enable you to consistently implement what you have learnt on a daily basis and provide a key component in relapse prevention. We are unique in the way we understand and apply our Programme and more critically, we are driven by our own experience of OCD. Skills for Life will impact not only upon your OCD, your environment but your life in general and your relationships with those close to you.
Intensive course
The OCD Centre 5 day Intensive Programme is aimed at people with OCD who wish to learn how to manage their OCD quickly. The clients we most often see on our intensive courses are those who have a particular deadline, e.g. a new job, wedding, birth of baby, holiday or educational course. Some wish to make a swift change due to personal relationships or professional difficulties as a direct result of their OCD. Others are in crisis and have quite simply, had enough.
Whatever the reason, one factor binds our intensives together - the decision to set aside 5 days of their life in return for regaining a happier one in the future. That, and the will and determination to work hard to make significant changes.
Carer's Course
A course specifically designed for Carers incorporating OCD education, OCD managements skills, therapy techniques and also counselling for the carer themselves.
