OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterised by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. These obsessions and compulsions can cause significant distress, interfere with daily activities, and reduce quality of life. Common symptoms include excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or arranging. OCD can affect anyone, regardless of age or background, but effective treatments are available. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and medication can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Dr. Marie Anderson

As a Clinical & Health Psychologist, I am trained under the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model. I have an interest in the natural therapies, take a holistic view of emotional wellbeing, and I have an integrated eclectic therapeutic style. I have a degree in the Behavioural Sciences (Psychology) with Honours and I completed my Doctor of Health Psychology in 2012 at La Trobe University. I am a Fellow Member of the Australian Psychological Society‚'s Clinical and Health Colleges, and I am a registered Psychologist with A.P.H.P.R.A. I have a long history in human resources, training, occupational rehabilitation, and health psychology at a leading general hospital. My doctoral thesis explored the use of motivational strategies to support effective health behaviour change. I also completed additional training through Deakin University to provide Clinical Psychology Services. I have been in private practice since 2004 and I draw on evidence-based strategies to treat a range of emotional imbalances, including helping clients to change their unhealthy habits and self-defeating behaviours. The work I do with clients is to inspire them to grow their potential and live a meaningful, balanced life. I educate and provide strategies to help them challenge their self-limiting beliefs, nurture their strengths, and learn to live by their principal values. In doing so, I help clients to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. In collaborating with my clients to achieve a balanced sense of self, we work towards attaining a healthy mind and a healthy body. We also explore what‚'s possible in realising a purposeful, fully self-expressed life.
