Exposure and Relapse Prevention Therapy for OCD (ERP)

ERP is structured and collaborative. Together we map your OCD cycle, build a clear hierarchy of feared situations, and practise exposures at a pace that feels manageable. Over time you learn that anxiety rises and falls on its own, without performing the compulsion, and that weakens the cycle. Relapse prevention planning helps you keep your gains after treatment ends.

ERP can help with: intrusive thoughts, contamination and cleaning, checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals, harm-related or taboo thoughts, and the avoidance that shapes daily life.
