Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist, & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment Specialist
With Doctor Pointer as your OCD Specialist, you know you have chosen to prioritise your recover
Are you are troubled by OCD / OCD-traits, but are not yet sure whether you should message Doctor Pointer?
If so, then it is helpful to know that Doctor Pointer understands that people with OCD tend to find it hard to go ahead & message him, because they are prone to feeling trapped, be risk averse, & find it hard to make decisions (because OCD is, in part, a doubting disorder). He also understands that people with OCD often feel a sense of embarrassment/shame regarding their obsessions &/or compulsions, & that they may worry that they will be judged, or even get into trouble, if they were to voice them. However, please remember that Doctor Pointer specialises in OCD, & therefore recognises that your concerns are OCD-based, & not a reflection of you (even if you worry that they may be)
Your confidentiality is very important to Doctor Pointer
Doctor Pointer understands that your OCD intrusive thoughts (including thoughts, images, urges, & physical sensations) are not a reflection of you nor your values. Therefore, he does not consider these to put you or others at risk (regardless of how sexual, violent, taboo, confusing, & distressing they are for you). Therefore, your conversations will remain confidential
Only if a client is actively planning to hurt themselves &/or others, will Doctor Pointer consider contacting outside services. Again, note that active planning is not a reference to intrusive thoughts (including thoughts, images, urges, & physical sensations), regardless of how sexual, violent, taboo, confusing, & distressing they are. Nearly all of his clients come to him for therapy with very distressing experiences that are of this nature, & yet he has never had to contact outside services
Remember, Doctor Pointer understands OCD academically, clinically, & personally, & therefore he will understand you, too
****And if you are currently being plagued by a what if? about reaching out to Doctor Pointer, just remember that that is the OCD talking
