Many clinicians reach a point where they’re doing ERP — but clients remain stuck. Not because ERP “isn’t working,” but because:
The function of OCD hasn’t been fully understood
Treatment has been subtly shaped by avoidance, reassurance, or over-scaffolding
Complex themes, comorbidities, or developmental factors are complicating the work
The therapist knows what to do, but feels unsure how hard to push, when to pivot, or what’s actually maintaining the cycle
This workshop is for that exact moment. If you’ve ever thought “I know the model — so why aren’t we moving?”, this training was built for you. Spanning over two full days’ worth of content (delivered in flexible, self-paced segments), this workshop goes deep into the clinical decision-making behind effective OCD treatment. If you’re looking for training in perinatal OCD, working with families, or treating young people? → Explore additional OCD training here.
In this Advanced workshop you’ll learn how to:
Identify and address common but subtle treatment pitfalls that stall progress
Understand the function of OCD at a deeper, moment-to-moment level
Navigate therapeutic stuck points without defaulting to reassurance or avoidance
Apply a nuanced, mindfulness-informed approach to ERP across themes and subtypes
Adapt treatment when working with co-occurring conditions or complex presentations
More than 15 detailed case studies are used throughout the training to demonstrate how these principles apply in real clinical work — across ages, presentations, and levels of complexity. This is the training clinicians often look for after they’ve been working with OCD long enough to realise the basics aren’t the hard part anymore.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING
This is an advanced-level workshop. It will not cover:
What OCD is
The basics of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Introductory theory or foundational concepts
This workshop assumes:
Prior training in OCD assessment and treatment
An understanding of ERP principles
Familiarity with mindfulness-based or ACT-informed approaches
If you have not completed prior OCD training, you are strongly encouraged to enrol in the Introductory OCD Workshop before undertaking this program.
WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR
This training is ideal for:
Mental health clinicians actively treating OCD
Clinicians working with children, adolescents, or adults
Those navigating complex presentations or co-occurring conditions
Clinicians who want to refine how they deliver ERP — not just whether they deliver it
Healthcare professionals seeking depth, precision, and clinical confidence
Advanced OCD training that focuses on clinical nuance, therapist behaviour, and real-world stuck points is rare — yet this is exactly where treatment outcomes are decided.
If OCD is a regular part of your caseload and you want to feel more confident navigating complexity — rather than questioning yourself mid-session — this workshop fills a gap most clinicians realise only after years in practice. You don’t need another overview. You need sharper clinical judgement, clearer formulation, and confidence when ERP gets messy.
