OCD Counselling with ERP in Cairns and Online

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel relentless—but effective treatment exists. At Cairns Wellbeing and Training, we offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard therapy for OCD. With structure, compassion, and clarity, we’ll help you gradually reduce compulsions and free up energy for the life you want to live.

Do You Struggle With...

• Repetitive thoughts you can’t turn off

• Mental rituals, checking, or reassurance-seeking

• Fear of harming others, contamination, or intrusive images

• Constant guilt, self-doubt, or “what if” spirals

What is ERP?
ERP involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations while resisting the urge to perform compulsions. Over time, this helps retrain your brain to tolerate uncertainty and reduce the OCD loop.

Our Approach:

• ACT-informed ERP: We combine the effectiveness of ERP with ACT’s values-based support and mindfulness

• Collaborative and trauma-aware

• We go at your pace, with a focus on safety and consent

What to Expect:

• Structured 1:1 sessions (in-person or online)

• Homework and real-world exposure planning

• Education, tools, and support between sessions if needed

Let’s work together to break the OCD cycle.
