Online OCD Therapy in Scotland
and Across the UK

Affordable, evidence‑based therapy for OCD from the comfort of your home.

Struggling with obsessive thoughts, endless mental loops, or the pressure of compulsions can feel incredibly isolating — especially when local support isn’t easily available. That’s why I offer online OCD therapy across Scotland, from Glasgow to Inverness and beyond. Wherever you are — in a busy city or a quiet rural village — you deserve effective, private support that fits into your life. Together, we’ll use proven CBT and ERP approaches to help you break the cycle and reclaim calm and clarity.

Online therapy is flexible, effective, and private. Here’s how we’ll work together:

OCD Types and Themes I Work With in Online Therapy

Online OCD therapy can help you manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions and break the cycle of anxiety. I offer therapy for all common OCD themes and related anxiety patterns, including:

1. Intrusive Thoughts (Sexual, Violent, or Blasphemous)


Unwanted mental images or thoughts that are disturbing and go against your values — often involving sexual content, violence, or religious themes. These are common in “Pure O” OCD and can lead to guilt, shame, or fear.

Therapy helps reduce the power of these thoughts and shift how you relate to them.

​​​

2. Harm OCD


Obsessions about accidentally or intentionally harming someone, even though these thoughts deeply conflict with who you are. You might fear losing control or question your intentions.

CBT and ERP can help reduce the fear and compulsions around these intrusive fears.

3. Contamination OCD & Cleaning Rituals


Intense fear of germs, dirt, or spreading illness, leading to excessive cleaning or avoidance.


Online therapy helps you face contamination fears safely and reduce the urge to perform cleaning rituals.

4. Health Anxiety / Body‑Focused OCD


Persistent worry about illness, bodily sensations, or appearance, often with repeated symptom checking or Googling.


Therapy helps you manage health fears and calm anxiety about physical sensations.

5. Symmetry, Ordering & “Just Right” OCD


A strong need for order, symmetry, or things to feel ‘just right’, sometimes with arranging, counting, or repeating behaviours.


Therapy can help you let go of perfection and reclaim your time and mental space.

6. Relationship OCD (ROCD)


Ongoing doubts about your partner, your feelings, or your partner’s feelings for you.


Therapy focuses on reducing compulsive reassurance-seeking and rebuilding confidence in your relationships.

7. Responsibility & Moral Scrupulosity OCD


Fear of making mistakes, causing harm, or breaking moral or religious rules.

Online therapy helps you manage guilt, over-responsibility, and mental checking behaviours.

8. Mental Rumination & Overthinking OCD


Constant mental checking, analysing, or problem‑solving that never feels “good enough.”


CBT techniques help you stop mental loops and focus on what truly matters instead of endless ‘what ifs.’

 

These themes often overlap and no two people experience OCD in exactly the same way. Many people live with intrusive thoughts they feel too ashamed or afraid to speak out loud. But I want you to know: I’m not frightened of your thoughts. I’ve heard them before, I understand OCD and I offer therapy that helps you feel more understood, less alone and more in control of your life.

OCD Therapy with a UK-Based Therapist You Can Trust

Hi, I’m Ellie. I work with people across Scotland and the UK who are living with the challenges of OCD — whether that means intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, or the constant feeling that something just isn’t “right.”

I offer online sessions using CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) — two approaches that have been shown to be especially effective in treating OCD. My style is down-to-earth and focused on making therapy feel safe, manageable, and tailored to you.

Sessions are £60 and fully online, so you can access support wherever you are — whether you’re in a busy city or somewhere more remote. You don’t need a diagnosis or to explain everything perfectly. Just bring yourself, as you are.
