Weekly personal support

The program includes 12 one-to-one coaching sessions. Each week, we’ll review what you have practised, identify obstacles and agree on a focused next step. Your weekly workbooks give you a clear structure to follow between sessions.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the Program?

The full 12-week package is available for: €1800. Payment plans are available to make this accessible to those who are committed and ready to invest in 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?

Traditional therapy often doesn’t address the unique challenges of sensorimotor OCD. This program is designed from the ground up with this specific subtype in mind. It focuses on targeted strategies like detachment from hyperawareness, acceptance-based tools, exposure exercises tailored to body-focused obsessions, and clear guidance on how to stop feeding the cycle of rumination. Plus, it’s created by someone who’s been through it, and has helped hundreds of others through it, too.

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’ll work through that week’s video lesson and workbook and practise the relevant exercises in everyday life. Your next coaching session is then used to review what happened, work through obstacles and adapt the next steps to your situation.
