One week intensive course


Recommended Posts

Through my job I do get to hear stories, and based off those experiences if I ever needed help with my OCD I would never spend a single penny to be treated by this centre.

My advice is simple, always double check the qualifications and credentials of a private therapist, the very minimum you need is accreditation with the BABCP (not to be confused with the BACP).   If a website fails to list the qualifications and credentials of the therapist, then avoid at all costs.

I can of course give you the names of some well qualified and clinically experienced OCD specialist therapists, although London/Kent based.  There is also the national specialist treatment clinic via the NHS in Bristol which does offer intensive options too, I am happy to discuss referral options if needed.

What a coincidence ! Actually I booked 20 hours for Skype sessions in this center because I didn't find a therapist in France. It's quite expensive,  I already had 7 hours and I do not yet know if it's really helpful.

Ashley, do you know this particular center or your opinion is about these kind of centers in general ?

I do.

Please don't let my response put you off, hopefully it will be helpful, but be mindful of Prof Adam Radomsky who once told us that at 8 hours he will invite his patients to review if they feel the therapy is going anywhere.  I would suggest a 7-10 session benchmark for reviewing.

Hi Ashely.  Thank you for your input.  I'm working on my application to go to the centre in Bristol.  I have an appointment with my GP on Monday to get my forms filled in.  I have written my one page document about my OCD and treatments I have had.  I'm preparing myself to be turned down my first try.  

Thanks! Jennifer

I have sessions once a week but it has been 2 weeks since I had the last one. The therapist was not available :( 

Have you paid for all your sessions up front, or do you pay per session?
