We offer effective treatment options to help you gain control of your thoughts and behaviours, and improve your overall well-being.

OCD Therapy York

OCD can present as intrusive thoughts, compulsions and/or difficulties with feeling as though you need to perform certain behaviours to avoid something bad happening.

Although the exact cause of OCD is unknown, several factors can influence. These include:

Life Events: Traumatic experiences, abuse, or childbirth can trigger OCD in some individuals.
Family History: Having a family member with OCD increases your risk.
Childhood Experiences: Growing up with strict parents or a focus on orderliness may contribute to OCD.
Anxiety: People with anxiety are more prone to intrusive thoughts, which can fuel OCD.
Personality Traits: Perfectionism and a tendency towards meticulousness may increase the risk of OCD.

OCD can often be triggered during times of stress or difficulty and our therapists in York can help you overcome difficulties relating to OCD and any related stress that might have caused it.
