how we can help?
Asto exists to help you get the treatment and support you need to regain control of your life. And the good news is...it can be done.
our treatment programme
Our OCD Treatment Programme is a practical course that offers you a good chance to fight against your OCD by accessing effective psychological treatment to learn to manage better or overcome this problem.
A key goal of this course is to help you understand what keeps your OCD going and then gradually become your own therapist by learning strategies and techniques from the currently recommended and most effective psychological treatment for OCD, namely Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), as advocated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, 2005). This course will also incorporate other compatible innovative and proven highly effective behavioural, cognitive or metacognitive interventions for OCD.
The nature of this therapeutic course not only helps you to normalise and appreciate that you are not alone, but also to learn from other participants’ experiences of what works in the treatment of OCD.
A recently published large-scale research study showed that a significant proportion of people who attended this course had improved without any negative consequences of taking part.
course Information
Each course takes place weekly via Zoom, lasts for 12 weeks, with each session lasting for 2 hours, and with a maximum of 10 participants – each one of the sessions is facilitated by both an experienced consultant clinical psychologist and a former OCD sufferer.
Families, relatives or friends also have the opportunity to attend two of the sessions during the course in order to help them support the individual with OCD more effectively.
