For many people with mild to moderate OCD, a structured, ERP-based programme can be a very effective place to start—especially if you want a clear plan and consistent practice. If your OCD is severe, you feel unsafe, or you’re not functioning day-to-day, individual support is usually the safest next step.

It’s designed to deliver the core evidence-based method (ERP) in a structured format you can follow independently. Some people use it as their main treatment step; others use it alongside therapy to stay focused between sessions. If you’re in a high-risk situation or your symptoms are complex, professional care is recommended.

This course is for adults who want a structured, evidence-based approach to OCD using ERP, including people who:

• have a diagnosis, or strongly suspect OCD
• have tried reassurance/talk-based approaches and didn’t improve
• want a clear plan to reduce compulsions and avoidance

If you are in crisis, actively suicidal, at risk of harm, experiencing psychosis/mania, or unable to keep yourself safe, this programme is not appropriate as your primary support—please seek urgent care. If you have significant complexity (severe depression, severe substance misuse, etc.), you may still benefit from ERP, but it’s best done with professional oversight.

It’s designed to apply across OCD themes, including contamination/washing, checking, harm/“what if” fears, intrusive sexual/religious thoughts, relationship OCD, health OCD, and rumination—because the treatment targets the process (obsessions → compulsions/safety behaviours), not the theme.

Yes. The course addresses internal compulsions like rumination, mental checking, neutralising, reassurance in your head, and “figuring it out”—and how to do ERP when compulsions are internal.

A structured programme that teaches you:

• how OCD works (the maintenance loop)
• how to build ERP properly (exposures + response prevention)
• how to reduce safety behaviours and reassurance
• how to handle setbacks, spikes, and uncertainty

(You can add your specific modules, videos, worksheets, etc. here if you’d like.)

The focus is on learning to drop compulsions and safety behaviours while doing planned exposures so your brain updates its fear learning over time. The programme also helps you spot subtle compulsions (a common reason self-help ERP can stall).

It varies. Many people notice early changes once they start doing ERP consistently (often within weeks), but meaningful change usually comes from repeated practice over time. OCD improvement is less about insight and more about training new responses.

Most people do best with small, consistent practice (for example, several short ERP practices per week). The programme is structured so you can start where you are and build momentum.

ERP feels challenging at first because it brings you into contact with uncertainty and discomfort. Done correctly and gradually, it’s designed to reduce OCD’s grip over time. The course emphasises pacing, planning, and avoiding common mistakes (like covert reassurance or exposures that turn into rituals).

That’s common when the approach didn’t target OCD’s maintenance cycle (compulsions, avoidance, reassurance, rumination). This programme is specifically built around ERP, the method most associated with meaningful OCD improvement.

Often, yes—many people find a structured programme helps them stay consistent between sessions. If your therapist is ERP-trained, you can also use the course to support your homework. If there’s any clinical risk, defer to your therapist’s advice.

Yes. Many people use ERP with or without medication. Medication decisions should be made with your GP/psychiatrist; the course focuses on the behavioural/psychological treatment side.

No. If your symptoms fit the OCD pattern (intrusive obsessions + compulsions/safety behaviours), you can still benefit. If you’re unsure whether it’s OCD or something else, consider an assessment.

Yes—the course content is the same. The only difference is how long you have access, which affects how much time you have to practise and revisit materials.

Because OCD improvement often depends on repetition and consistency. Some people want a shorter, focused period; others prefer more time to practise, repeat exposures, and consolidate change.
