How Rachael can help

Intrusive thoughts and compulsions can feel exhausting.

OCD-like patterns can involve unwanted thoughts, checking, reassurance seeking, rumination, avoidance, rituals or distress that feels hard to explain. Many people feel ashamed or afraid to talk about it.

Rachael offers confidential phone and video counselling across Australia to help you talk about what is happening, reduce shame and explore practical coping steps.

When to reach out

OCD counselling support may help when thoughts and rituals feel hard to manage.

You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable. A calm conversation can help you understand what is happening and choose a realistic next step.

Intrusive thoughts feel distressing

Counselling can give you a private space to talk about unwanted thoughts without judgement.

Reassurance seeking is taking over

Sessions can help you understand cycles that temporarily reduce anxiety but keep the pattern going.

Avoidance is limiting life

Support can help you gently notice the impact of avoidance and consider realistic next steps.

You feel alone or ashamed

Talking with a counsellor can help reduce secrecy and support a kinder understanding of yourself.
