Welcome to Kay OCD Therapy

My Approaches Working With OCD and Anxiety

ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

Focus:

Changing your relationship with thoughts, feelings, and urges

  • Notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them

  • Let discomfort come and go like waves

  • Stay connected to your values and what matters

  • Take meaningful action even with anxiety present

Great for:

  • Feeling stuck avoiding situations or feelings

  • Wanting a compassionate, values-led approach

  • Building long-term resilience and flexibility

ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention)

Focus:

Reducing compulsions through gradual exposure

  • Face feared situations, thoughts, or sensations step by step

  • Resist urges to perform rituals or checking behaviour’s

  • Build tolerance to uncertainty and discomfort

  • Break the OCD cycle gradually

Great for:

  • Avoidance or ritualized behaviour’s that limit life

  • Wanting a hands-on, practical approach to fear

  • Practicing exposures safely and gradually

ACT + ERP = Blended Approach

  • ERP gives structured exposure to reduce compulsions

  • ACT helps you stay flexible, compassionate, and values-driven

  • Many clients benefit from combining both and this is how I work, introducing ACT initially helping to build a scaffolding for future ERP work.

Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)

I also draw on Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (I-CBT), a specialised, evidence-based approach developed specifically for OCD. I-CBT focuses on how OCD begins before anxiety shows up.
