OCD Treatment (ERP) in Portstewart

If you are struggling with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours, you are not alone. I offer specialist OCD treatment in Portstewart using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective, evidence-based approach for OCD.

OCD can involve intrusive thoughts about harm, contamination, relationships, or responsibility, along with behaviours such as checking, reassurance seeking, mental reviewing, or avoidance. These patterns can become exhausting and difficult to break without the right support.

How I can help

I use a structured CBT approach, with a strong focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help you gradually face fears and reduce compulsions.

Together, we will:

• understand how OCD is maintained

• identify triggers and patterns

• develop a personalised ERP plan

• build confidence in tolerating uncertainty

• reduce reliance on compulsions and reassurance

Therapy is collaborative, practical and paced in a way that feels manageable.

What to expect from sessions

Sessions are typically 45–50 minutes and tailored to your needs. We focus on helping you make real changes between sessions, so progress continues in your day-to-day life.

I aim to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly without pressure.

Who I work with

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing OCD and related anxiety difficulties.

Sessions are available:

• in person in Portstewart
