Advanced OCD Treatment Workshop

About the Course

Many clinicians reach a point where they’re doing ERP — but clients remain stuck. Not because ERP “isn’t working,” but because the function of OCD hasn’t been fully understood.  Treatment has been subtly shaped by avoidance, reassurance, or over-scaffolding, and complex themes, co-morbidities, or developmental factors are complicating the work As therapists, we know what to do, but feel unsure how hard to push, when to pivot, or what’s actually maintaining the cycle. This workshop is for that exact moment. If you’ve ever thought “I know the model — so why aren’t we moving?”, this training was built for you. Spanning over two full days’ worth of content (delivered in flexible, self-paced segments), this workshop goes deep into the clinical decision-making behind effective OCD treatment. In this Advanced workshop you’ll learn how to: Identify and address common but subtle treatment pitfalls that stall progress Understand the function of OCD at a deeper, moment-to-moment level Navigate therapeutic stuck points without defaulting to reassurance or avoidance Apply a nuanced, mindfulness-informed approach to ERP across themes and subtypes Adapt treatment when working with co-occurring conditions or complex presentations More than 15 detailed case studies are used throughout the training to demonstrate how these principles apply in real clinical work — across ages, presentations, and levels of complexity. This is the training clinicians often look for after they’ve been working with OCD long enough to realise the basics aren’t the hard part anymore. What's Included: ✔ 8 in-depth training videos, broken into manageable segments ✔ Approximately 10 hours of total learning content ✔ 10 CPD points ✔ Curated advanced readings and articles ✔ Real-world case-based application, not just theory ✔ Self-paced access — watch, pause, and revisit as needed Upon enrolment, you’ll be able to access links to all training videos and content, and the ability to complete the workshop at your own pace. Please note the following before enrolling: This is an advanced-level workshop. It will not cover what OCD is, the basics of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and introductory theory or foundational concepts. This workshop assumes: Prior training in OCD assessment and treatment An understanding of ERP principles Familiarity with mindfulness-based or ACT-informed approaches If you have not completed prior OCD training, you are strongly encouraged to enrol in the Introductory OCD Workshop before undertaking this program. This training is ideal for: Mental health clinicians actively treating OCD, including psychologists psychiatrists, accredited mental health social workers, GP's, psychiatry registrars, psychology registrars. Clinicians working with children, adolescents, or adults Those navigating complex presentations or co-occurring conditions Clinicians who want to refine how they deliver ERP — not just whether they deliver it Healthcare professionals seeking depth, precision, and clinical confidence Advanced OCD training that focuses on clinical nuance, therapist behaviour, and real-world stuck points is rare — yet this is exactly where treatment outcomes are decided. If OCD is a regular part of your caseload and you want to feel more confident navigating complexity — rather than questioning yourself mid-session — this workshop fills a gap most clinicians realise only after years in practice.  You don’t need another overview. You need sharper clinical judgement, clearer formulation, and confidence when ERP gets messy.
