Break Free From OCD And Live A Life of Freedom

A structured 12-week coaching programme built around a fixed curriculum, with individual support to help you understand and apply it.

Work through weekly video lessons, practical workbooks and guided practices. Your coaching sessions help you review the material, ask questions and apply the programme principles in everyday life.

Guided — €1,200: 6 individual coaching sessions spread across 12 weeks.
Fully Coached — €1,800: 12 individual coaching sessions, approximately one per week.

Both follow the same complete curriculum. A free 30-minute discovery call is available if you are considering Guided or Fully Coached. The call is to discuss programme suitability; it is not a coaching session.

Choose your level of individual support

Guided includes 6 individual coaching sessions spread across 12 weeks, generally reviewing roughly two weeks of material at a time. Fully Coached includes 12 individual sessions, approximately one per week. Both follow the same core curriculum. We review the videos and workbooks, answer your questions and work through how to apply the principles to your own circumstances, with examples and explanations adapted to you.

Does this sound like you?

Are you stuck in the OCD loop?

Do you constantly feel like you’re overthinking, compulsively checking, seeking reassurance? Does it feel like nothing helps you long term?

You’re not alone.

Break Free from OCD is a structured 12-week program designed to help you interrupt the OCD cycle, shift your focus, and build a life rooted in confidence, purpose, and freedom.

Using approaches rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure techniques and nervous system work, you’ll learn how to manage compulsions, stop feeding rumination, and face uncertainty in a more grounded, values-based way.

What Makes This Program Different

Break Free gives you a clear 12-week progression for learning to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, sensations, uncertainty and compulsive urges. The core principles, videos, workbooks, exercises and activities provide a consistent path through the programme.

Your individual coaching sessions bring that curriculum into your everyday life. We review the material, discuss your questions and challenges, and help you apply the principles to your own circumstances. Guided offers six sessions across the programme; Fully Coached offers approximately weekly coaching through each stage.

What You Will Walk Away With

Daily tools and strategies to interrupt the OCD spiral and build resilience

Meditations and body-based practices that support long-term transformation, not just symptom relief

What Past Clients Are Saying

I first discovered Robert through his podcast on Spotify, and I found it incredibly helpful. Eventually, I decided to book some sessions with him. He helped me manage my anxiety and OCD so that I could regain my confidence. He recently also launched an online course that makes the content of his podcast even more actionable with practical steps for real progress. I can’t thank Robert enough for his guidance and support in my OCD journey! 😊

Rob comes across as extremely natural and, as many others have said, it is nice to learn from someone with a somewhat similar experience. I’ve been meeting Rob weekly for the last 2 months and it has been really helpful. I particularly appreciate that he comes with focus for the sessions and gives really good ‘homework’ I can use in the week. I believe he is a good blend of sharing insights while offering reassurance, which is key! Thanks so much Rob!

I found Rob to be a very unique coach within the field of helping people with ocd and anxiety. I personally had a few sessions with Rob which helped me get started with erp for ocd (especially sensorimotor theme… Which is so hard to come across when getting help with this particular issue). He is very compassionate, understanding and relatable. His podcast is something which I have gained so much knowledge from and put a lot of his suggestions in to practice. I would 100% you listen to the podcast and even request some personal coaching if you are struggling.

About Your Coach

Hi, I’m Robert James, OCD and anxiety coach, psychology graduate, and someone who’s personally walked the path of recovery. I’ve spent years coaching clients through intrusive thoughts, compulsions, doubt, and fear, not just with techniques, but with honesty, compassion, and practical guidance rooted in experience.

This program is built from everything I’ve learned: from proven techniques, from clients, and from the lived reality of OCD. My approach is grounded in acceptance, values, and real-life change, not perfection. You don’t need to fix every thought to live well. You just need the right tools, and the willingness to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the Program?

Guided — €1,200: the complete 12-week curriculum with 6 individual coaching sessions spread across the programme. Each session generally reviews roughly two weeks of material and helps you apply the principles to your own circumstances.

Fully Coached — €1,800: the same complete curriculum with 12 individual coaching sessions, approximately one per week, for more frequent support through each stage. Payment plans are available.

Both are structured coaching programmes. Your sessions follow the programme curriculum, with explanations, examples and guidance personalised to you.

A free 30-minute discovery call is for discussing whether Guided or Fully Coached is suitable for you. Programmes with individual coaching start at €1,200.

Prefer independent learning? Self-Guided is €600, or 3 monthly payments of €200, with the same complete curriculum, videos, workbooks, exercises and meditations, optional group support and 12 weeks of programme community access. No individual coaching sessions are included. Join directly; no discovery call is needed.

Looking for a standalone foundations course? OCD Elements is €190 one-off and uses its own course videos. It does not include the complete 12-week curriculum, individual coaching or live programme support, and it is not a prerequisite for Break Free.

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?

That’s more common than you might think. Many people come to this program after feeling frustrated or misunderstood in therapy, especially when OCD hasn’t been properly recognized or addressed. Break Free from OCD is different. It offers practical tools, structure, and guidance that speak directly to the patterns that keep OCD going. You’ll learn how to respond to intrusive thoughts and compulsions in a way that creates lasting change, at your own pace, with support when you need it.

How is this different from traditional therapy?

Break Free is a structured 12-week coaching programme built around a fixed curriculum. In individual sessions, we review the programme videos and workbooks, discuss your questions and help you apply the principles to your own circumstances. The coaching is personalised within that structure.

This is coaching rather than clinical treatment or diagnosis. It does not replace therapy or other mental-health care you may need.

Is this program right for me?

This program may be a good fit if you want structured weekly work, personalised guidance and practical support applying the method.

What happens between coaching sessions?

Between sessions, you work through the weekly videos, workbooks, exercises and activities and practise applying the principles in everyday life. The curriculum follows the same 12-week progression in each format.

With Guided, your six coaching sessions generally review roughly two weeks of material at a time. With Fully Coached, twelve sessions provide approximately weekly support. We use those sessions to explain and review the content, answer questions and work through its application to your own circumstances.
