OCD doesn’t announce itself neatly. It hides behind anxiety (i.e., generalised anxiety, social anxiety, social phobia, peri and post-partum anxiety, etc), perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, family dynamics, and “it sort of looks like…” presentations.
Many clinicians realise after the fact that what they were treating wasn’t anxiety at all — or that their well-intentioned responses were quietly reinforcing the OCD.
This workshop exists for the moment you recognise that risk and decide you don’t want to be the clinician who:
Misses OCD in assessment
Hesitates during exposure
Over-accommodates distress
Or realises too late that treatment could have been more effective, sooner
This training bridges the gap between knowing about OCD and knowing what to do in the room. If OCD shows up in your caseload — even occasionally — this is foundational training you can’t afford to skip. Once you enrol, you’ll be redirected to our learning platform to complete payment and access the workshop content.
What’s Included:
This is a comprehensive, clinician-ready program — not a light overview.
4 in-depth modules delivered via video and slide presentations
~6 hours of on-demand video learning
6 hours of CPD
Curated readings to deepen clinical understanding
Client-ready handouts you can use immediately in practice with your clients
Self-paced access — learn on your schedule, revisit as needed
Everything is designed to translate directly into better assessment, clearer formulations, and more effective treatment decisions. Across the four structured modules, you’ll be guided through the full clinical pathway of OCD care:
How to accurately identify OCD in assessment — including subtle and atypical presentations
How to differentiate OCD from anxiety disorders, trauma presentations, perfectionism, rumination, and other look-alikes
How to formulate OCD clearly and communicate it effectively to clients and families
How to apply evidence-based treatment principles, including ERP and ACT-informed strategies, without avoiding the parts that matter most and ensuring that we’re not accommodating OCD
How to navigate hurdles to treatment and work on relapse prevention.
Who this Workshop is for:
This workshop is ideal if you are:
A psychologist, provisional psychologist, registrar, or a health clinician such as an accredited mental health social worker, psychiatrist, GP, etc.
Seeing clients with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or complex presentations
Wanting to feel more confident when working with people and families impacted by OCD
Aware that ERP is essential, but unsure how to apply it
Looking for solid foundations before moving into advanced OCD or ERP training
Who this Workshop is Not For:
This workshop may not be the right fit if you are:
Already delivering specialist OCD treatment confidently and consistently - you may be interested in the advanced workshop
Looking only for advanced or niche ERP techniques
Wanting a brief overview without clinical depth. While this workshop is foundational, it is not superficial.
Why Now?
OCD rarely waits for clinicians to “feel ready.” It shows up in your sessions now — quietly shaping outcomes whether you notice it or not. Every month without clear assessment and confident intervention is another month clients spend stuck in cycles that could have been interrupted sooner. This workshop gives you the frameworks, language, and tools to respond differently — starting immediately.
If you want to:
Reduce diagnostic uncertainty
Strengthen ethical clinical decision-making
Feel more confident treating OCD — not cautious or avoidant
And shorten the path between assessment and meaningful change
This is the training clinicians often wish they had done earlier.
Enrol Now and build the foundations that everything else in OCD treatment depends on. After clicking enrol, you’ll be redirected to our learning platform to complete payment and access the workshop content.
