WHERE TREATMENT LIVES
That moment, the one where doubt creeps in, is not a sign that something isn’t right. It's where OCD treatment actually lives.
You know about OCD. You know why reassurance makes it worse. You know the rationale for treatment, and you've sat with clients through exposures that felt uncomfortable for everyone in the room.
What nobody teaches you is what to do when the session stops feeling textbook. When your client gets distressed and everything in you wants to make it easier. When you're not sure if you pushed too hard or not hard enough. When you leave the session still unsettled, replaying what happened, wondering if you got it right. Not in the theory, but in the moment where you have to hold the work steady when everything in the room is pulling you toward making it easier for your client. Grounded in Doubt is built for that moment. The training here is clinical, specific, and grounded in what we need to do to treat OCD, not just understand it.
Where do you find yourself?
01/ Foundations
"I know the basics. But I'm not sure I'm getting this right."
02/ Stuck
"We're doing the work. So why isn't treatment progressing?"
03/ It’s Complicated
"This one's a bit more complex than what I typically see."

3 Steps from Knowing to Applying
HOW THIS WORKS
01/
Choose your level
Foundations is for you if you are building your clinical base. Stuck is for you if treatment has plateaued. It's Complicated is for you if the case involves more than OCD alone.
02/
Work through the material
Work through the Foundations and/or Advanced workshops in your own time, with case studies and clinical material drawn from real presentations. If your client situation is complicated, book in a 1:1 supervision session so we can work through it together.
03/
Apply it, don't just absorb it
If you’re at Foundations or Stuck, use the 2 supervision sessions which are included in the Foundations and the Advanced Workshops so the learning becomes applied, not just absorbed.

Hi, I'm Dr Celin Gelgec.
Clinical Psychologist, AHPRA-registered Board Approved Supervisor, and director of Melbourne Wellbeing Group. I know what it feels like to sit with a client whose OCD is activating every instinct you have to soften the work, and it's really hard.
I have been treating OCD for over 15 years, trained over 500 clinicians across Australia (and still counting), and I supervise practitioners at every level of experience, across all ages and themes of OCD. What I have observed is consistent. We don't struggle with OCD treatment because of a lack of knowledge. We struggle because the treatment model is harder to hold in the room than it is to understand on paper.
OCD creates doubt in our clients. It also creates doubt in us. That dynamic is almost never named in training, and it is the thing that matters most.
WHAT COLLEAGUES SAY WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE TRAINING
"What is one thing that will shift for you when you next work with someone with OCD?"
"My awareness of times where I might be softening the exposure which doesn’t help.”
"More awareness of those thought-based OCDs and obsessive thought patterns.”
"Feeling more confident in teasing apart complex presentations.”
"What is one thing you know now that you wished you knew earlier?"
"The different themes of OCD, and that it may not be "just anxiety", but actually OCD”.
"All of it. I wish it was earlier in my training pathway.”
"That pulling from an exposure due to distress is a missed exposure. Learning to sit through it would be my approach now.”
This is for you if
You're a registered mental health clinician ready to treat OCD cases, not just read about them
You want training that assumes clinical competence and builds from there
You have an OCD case in your caseload and want to feel clinically grounded, not just less anxious about it
You're willing to sit with the discomfort that OCD treatment requires, including in your own practice
This is not for you if
You're looking for a reassurance-dispensing course that makes ERP feel safe and manageable
You want a certificate without the clinical substance to back it up
130+ Resources
Not sure where to start? This is for you.
The OCD Resource List is a free, curated directory of over 130 resources for OCD, organised by age group and theme. Built for clinicians who want reliable, well-organised material to draw on across a range of presentations, without spending hours finding it themselves.
Grounded in Doubt
Where OCD treatment clicks.
Grounded in Doubt is a clinician education platform created by Dr Celin Gelgec, Clinical Psychologist, AHPRA board approved supervisor, and Director of Melbourne Wellbeing Group. It is built around one premise: that OCD treatment is not just a set of techniques to be learned, but a clinical process to be held. The work is structured, grounded in the inhibitory learning model, and built for clinicians who take the discomfort of the work seriously.
