Not sure if you have OCD? This one-off virtual session determines whether you meet clinical criteria. If diagnosed, we’ll provide an official letter from a registered clinical psychologist to confirm this and discuss your next steps.
If you are not given a diagnosis, we will still offer recommendations and tell you what we think is going on instead. In many cases, we may still be able to offer you support, even if you do not have OCD.

£175 per session when you book four or more in advance.
