Due to the enormous success and popularity of our Pilot OCD Clinic, we are delighted to announce our 2017 OCD Clinic for Norwich, Norfolk and the whole of East Anglia.
This is the first clinic of its kind in the UK being linked to our very popular and well-established Norwich and Norfolk OCD Voluntary Support Group founded in 2004 by Geraldine Scott.
Our 2017 OCD Clinic is being sponsored by the Big Lottery Fund and will run from the end of January 2017 until early January 2018. We will be able to offer complimentary one to one counselling sessions by a professionally qualified Psychotherapist specialising in OCD using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These appointments will be held in central Norwich close to the Theatre Royal. The sessions will take place on a Friday and will be for six weekly appointments. Subject to demand and availability, these sessions may also be open to carers or family members that are struggling to understand OCD and/or cope with the demands put upon them by this debilitating anxiety disorder.
These appointments are limited and therefore, if you are interested in attending this clinic, please contact us on the numbers below:

When I found The Norwich and Norfolk OCD Voluntary Support Group; I was offered support through the Pilot scheme funded by the Big Lottery which offered me 6 free CBT Sessions. I have now made serious progress through the understanding and techniques I have been offered. The group also demonstrates just how many people benefit from the service offered who without it would struggle to find the right support. The Norwich and Norfolk OCD Voluntary Support Group is a success and without it myself and others would be misunderstood and lacking much needed support.

I just wanted to express my gratitude for the recent appointments you were able to offer me as part of the Pilot OCD Clinic, it is great that such a service is available to people like myself that can really make the difference in assisting in the recovery of this time consuming and distressing disorder. The CBT sessions provided have given me the strength and courage to attempt these things even when anxiety has taken hold and I have found that by sitting with the anxiety and allowing it to pass or refocus myself it does subside, and in learning these techniques you can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That a life free of OCD is possible.

I was so grateful when you offered me the six free counselling sessions funded by the Big Lottery (I am a pensioner on very limited income). These sessions really helped me to explore and start to understand what had led to my illness developing so severely and also gave me some ideas to learn new and better coping strategies. I really feel this was the beginning of my realisation that maybe, just maybe, I could get better. It makes such a difference being counselled by someone who truly understands the condition.
Prue, NR1
