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.
