| Comment | Have you gone via the NHS? You can self refer to the primary mental health team. The wait is frustrating, I waited a couple of months for an assessment then was offered another 6 months wait for 8 sessions with a psychologist or online CBT with no time limit.
I can rerefer if the CBT doesn't work out but currently I'm finding it useful as the therapist has agreed we'll find solutions, not spend every session talking about the shit stuff that has caused the OCD in the first place.
So, the short answer is the NHS can offer useful interventions if you're willing to wait a bit. The online stuff is put in place within days of your assessment so the only wait is the initial assessment. I know you might be looking for someone private, but wanted to flag NHS up as an option. |
