Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Living with OCD can be exhausting, leaving you caught in cycles of unwanted thoughts, anxiety, and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals that feel difficult to control. Together, we'll explore how OCD is affecting your daily life, develop practical strategies to manage intrusive thoughts and compulsions, and help you respond to anxiety in healthier, more effective ways. My goal is to help you regain confidence, reduce the impact OCD has on your life, and find greater freedom from its grip.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
OCD is exhausting in a way few people understand: the intrusive thoughts you'd never act on, the rituals that promise relief but demand more each time, the shame of a mind that won't let go. None of it reflects who you are. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to understand how OCD operates, separate yourself from its demands, and gradually reclaim the time and peace it's taken. The goal isn't just to quiet the thoughts, it's to genuinely understand yourself, change your relationship with uncertainty, and build a life led by your values instead of your fears. Together we'll work toward feeling more free, more present, and more equipped to live on your own terms.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
OCD can be debilitating due to having unwanted, recurring thoughts that cause people to engage in frequent, repetitive behaviours in order to relieve anxiety. People with OCD often feel overwhelmed due to needing things a certain way with leaving little to no room for flexibility. Rigidity takes over, which can create feelings of sadness and helplessness. The therapy models that I use for OCD are primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The CBT model involves challenging unwanted thoughts that may be exacerbating the OCD. Once clients identify the thoughts that are linked to the unwanted behaviours, they learn to have more choice over how they would like to respond to those thoughts. Gaining control over the unwanted thoughts is a powerful step in the healing process, as clients feel empowered to make independent choices that are in line with their values. Values-oriented work is largely derived from the ACT model. As we explore values, clients gain a deep understanding of the type of life they would like to live. They explore what makes life rich and meaningful and what changes need to happen in order to reach their full potential.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
OCD is sadly missed for alot of clients, especially if you have more internal compulsion and obsession ( such as rumination, checking, analyzing etc). I have seen hpow a great deal of clients have struggled with this for years and their mental compulsions take up a lot of time and energy. For this I like to support people with having a different relationship with their thoughts, recognising when they are doing compulsions that may fly under the radar and addressing the underlying anxiety.
