Individual support throughout the 12 weeks

Your programme includes 12 individual coaching sessions, approximately one per week.

Weekly sessions give you regular support as you put each stage into practice.

Does this sound like you?

If you’re constantly aware of your breath, blinking, swallowing, or other internal sensations, you know how relentless it can feel. Sensorimotor OCD turns everyday bodily awareness into a source of anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion.

You’ve probably tried to relax, distract yourself, or think your way out, but it keeps pulling you back.

This program helps you break that loop - not by eliminating the sensations, but by changing how you relate to them. You’ll learn how to soften your reaction, step out of compulsive monitoring, and build a calmer, more present relationship with your body and your thoughts.

What You’ll Walk Away With

This program isn’t just about understanding sensorimotor OCD – it’s about changing how you respond to it. Over 12 weeks, you’ll learn how to step out of obsessive monitoring and into a life where you feel calm, grounded, and free.

A calmer, more accepting relationship with your body and thoughts

What Past Clients Are Saying

I’ve had OCD since childhood, and the themes have shifted over time. Throughout the years, I’ve worked with many therapists – some more effective than others – but one common issue I’ve run into is that, while they might understand the techniques, they don’t always get what it’s truly like to live with OCD. Working with Robert has been a different experience. He really understands OCD, not just from a clinical perspective, but from the inside out. That kind of understanding makes a big difference. One area I’ve particularly struggled with is sensorimotor OCD and hyperawareness of bodily sensations. It’s a tricky, exhausting theme, and it felt like I was caught in a cycle that was hard to break. Robert helped me learn to be more accepting of where my awareness goes, and more importantly, how to keep living my life alongside it, rather than constantly trying to fix or control it.

I was in a really dark and hopeless place with sensorimotor OCD, but working with Robert has allowed me to start living my life and pursuing my goals again, and gradually make a recovery.

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

That’s a common experience, especially with sensorimotor OCD, which is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Many people are told to “just ignore it” or try mindfulness techniques that actually make things worse. This program is different. It’s designed specifically for sensorimotor OCD and blends practical tools, guidance, and lived experience to help you stop fighting your awareness and start shifting your relationship with it. You’re not broken, maybe you just haven’t had the right support until now.

How is this different from traditional therapy?

This is a structured 12-week coaching programme focused on sensorimotor OCD. The fixed curriculum provides weekly videos, workbooks, exercises and activities. In individual coaching sessions, we review that material, answer your questions and help you apply the principles to your own experiences of bodily awareness. Examples and explanations are personalised within the programme structure.

The programme provides 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.

Your 12 individual coaching 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.
