Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Therapy in Inverness

OCD Therapy in Inverness

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be deeply distressing. It often involves unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that feel impossible to stop – even when you recognise they’re irrational. These cycles can become exhausting, isolating, and hard to talk about.

At Highland Psychological Services, we offer specialised, evidence-based therapy for OCD. Our goal is to help you understand what’s happening, manage your symptoms with confidence, and regain a sense of control over your daily life.

You might be:

  • Struggling with obsessive fears of contamination or illness

  • Repeatedly checking locks, appliances, or personal safety

  • Feeling distressed by intrusive thoughts or mental images

  • Compelled to arrange, count, or repeat actions until they “feel right”

  • Avoiding certain situations out of fear of causing harm

  • Experiencing religious or moral obsessions that feel deeply unsettling

Whatever form your OCD takes, you don’t have to manage it alone. Therapy can help break the cycle and offer real, lasting relief.

Our OCD therapy service is designed to support you in understanding and managing your symptoms – whether you’ve had OCD for years or are just beginning to notice unhelpful patterns.

Therapy can help you:

  • Understand the thoughts and behaviours that are maintaining your OCD

  • Face intrusive thoughts in a safe, supported environment

  • Reduce compulsive behaviours through gradual exposure

  • Build confidence in managing uncertainty and discomfort

  • Challenge unhelpful beliefs and reduce anxiety

  • Regain freedom and confidence in your daily life

We use evidence-based therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), delivered at a pace that feels manageable for you.

How Therapy For OCD Can Help You

Therapy Tailored to Your Needs

  • What to Expect From Therapy

    OCD therapy can feel daunting – especially if your thoughts feel shameful or hard to explain. We offer a non-judgemental, supportive space where you can talk openly and explore what’s really going on. Together, we’ll gently work through the thought patterns and behaviours that are keeping you stuck, helping you build the tools and resilience to move forward with more ease and self-trust.
