"OCD Therapy sessions."

About: Community Mental Health / Adult Psychological Therapies

(as a service user),

I have struggled with OCD my whole life and every so often I get overcome with the OCD and problems that it causes. I was put on the waiting list by my GP to be seen by an NHS therapist and about a year later I was seen by a therapist at the Dudehope facility in Dundee.

My therapist Stuart was very knowledgeable and was a great help providing a lot of helpful techniques and strategies to help me manage my OCD. From day to day.

I would recommend Stuart for anyone with OCD, I’m not entirely sure if that’s his speciality but it seemed that way.

My only criticism is the wait time to be seen is far too long. It was over a year until I got seen. I do understand however, the NHS is stretched very thin. Overall the service was very good however.
