OCD Specialist, Lived Experiences & Recovered - OCD Therapy

About me

A unique experience of OCD therapy with a man who understands you. I experienced OCD from an early age, have been where you are now, & have successfully recovered from OCD.  I understand the nature of your OCD experiences & how to lead you out of your OCD labyrinth. I provide an innovative synergy of evidence-based therapies for OCD (CBT ~ ERP, RF-ERP, MCT, ACT, CFT, & I-CBT) that go right to the heart of our OCD experiences.

Before recovering from OCD myself, I experienced many different OCD themes, including "taboo" themes & other debilitating & surreal themes, so I can promise you both understanding & discretion.

I work with all Pure O OCD related themes, including taboo themes (e.g. POCD, Incest OCD), sexual themes (e.g. Homosexual OCD (HOCD) / Sexual Orientation OCD (SO-OCD)), & violent themes (e.g. Harm OCD), Magical Thinking OCD, Superstition / Supernatural OCD, Relationship OCD (ROCD), False Memory OCD, Hit & Run OCD, Real Event OCD, Somatic OCD / Sensorimotor OCD, Existential OCD, Moral OCD / Scrupulosity OCD, Symmetry & Exactness OCD, Just Right OCD, Checking OCD, Contamination OCD, Pure O OCD, & “surreal” themes.

If you do not receive an email response within a few hours of messaging me, please check your spam/junk folder.  I'm looking forward to helping you recover from OCD.

My service is for adults (18+) who are present in the United Kingdom (UK) &/or the Channel Islands during their therapy sessions.

This specialist service is available exclusive online via video calls.

Additional information

Even though OCD is often seen as an extremely challenging mental health issue, with Doctor Pointer some of his clients are recovered from OCD within as little as 4 to 6 sessions, most within 6 to 12+ sessions, & a very small percentage of his clients choose to have less frequent ad hoc sessions, for an extended period of time, past their initial weekly sessions.
