Hypnotherapy for OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex and often misunderstood condition characterised by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions). We designed Our Hypnotherapy for OCD service to provide a supportive, practical pathway towards managing and overcoming these challenges. Our trained hypnotherapist recognises the unique nature of OCD and tailor our approach to each individual’s specific needs.

Utilising Clinical Hypnotherapy, we delve into the subconscious mind, addressing the root causes of obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions. This method goes beyond surface symptoms, targeting the underlying psychological patterns that fuel OCD. Through guided imagery and suggestive techniques, we help reframe obsessive thoughts and reduce the urge to perform compulsive behaviours.

Common OCD-Related Issues We Address:

Recurrent, intrusive thoughts or obsessions causing significant distress.
Compulsive behaviours or rituals to alleviate anxiety from obsessions.
Excessive concern with order, symmetry, or exactness.
Persistent fears about contamination, dirt, or germs.
Intrusive thoughts involving harm to self or others.
Excessive double-checking of things, such as locks, appliances, and switches.
Unreasonable fear of discarding items, leading to hoarding.
Compulsive need for reassurance or approval.
Spending excessive time on rituals significantly impacts daily life.
Avoidance of situations that trigger obsessions or compulsions.

Our approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, offering a safe space for clients to explore and confront their OCD. We aim to empower individuals with tools and strategies to regain control over their thoughts and actions, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Tailoring Treatments to Ease the Symptoms of OCD

In addressing OCD, we integrate a combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, NLP, and Psychology, each contributing to a comprehensive treatment plan:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis utilises the power of suggestion in a trance-like state to access and reprogram the subconscious mind, targeting the root causes of OCD. This method helps in altering obsessive thought patterns and reducing the urge for compulsive behaviours.

Psychotherapy

Involves exploring and understanding the underlying emotional triggers and past experiences that fuel OCD behaviours, providing a deeper insight into the condition and aiding in its management.

Counselling

Offers a supportive environment where individuals can discuss their OCD symptoms openly. This facilitates the development of coping strategies and ways to handle OCD triggers more effectively.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Employs techniques to change negative thought processes and behaviours associated with OCD, fostering a more positive and rational approach to intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

Psychology

Applies evidence-based cognitive-behavioural strategies to manage OCD symptoms. This includes techniques for stress reduction, improving impulse control, and breaking the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions.

Through these integrated methods, we offer a holistic and personalised approach to OCD treatment, helping individuals regain control and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Our approach is tailored to provide each client with the necessary time and support to achieve significant, lasting changes in managing their OCD symptoms.

Reviews and testimonials

JB

I found my sessions with Kamal be both helpful and productive in my desire to lose weight. I was listened to very carefully and was treated with professionalism and kindness. I felt that Kamal really wanted to help me and talked through my session with him. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Naima

Kamal is very welcoming and gentle. I had a great experience.

I chose to get hypnotherapy to cure my phobia of bugs ahead of a camping festival in the Bulgarian mountains.

The treatment proved effective as I was able to enjoy my time at the festival in the presence of many bugs.

Peter

Very positive experience meeting with Kamal. He was attentive and in tune with trying to help, and made it his business to fully understand the entire picture and took his time to listen and probe to address it professionally and with care.

Very friendly, warm and an excellent communicator between appointments, which made the process seamless for me. Would highly recommend Kamal and his services to anyone looking to.
