An OCD assessment is more than identifying a condition — it's about turning intrusive thoughts and compulsive cycles into something you can name, understand, and treat. With the right diagnosis, evidence-based therapy becomes targeted and effective.

A formal assessment unlocks CBT with Exposure & Response Prevention — the protocol with the strongest evidence base for OCD, effective for up to 80% of people.
Compulsions and avoidance can quietly eat 1–3+ hours a day. The right plan gives that time back to work, relationships, and the things that matter.
The average time between first OCD symptoms and a formal diagnosis is 17 years — yet 80% of people respond well to CBT with ERP once diagnosed. Most of that lost time is preventable.

Covered by leading Irish health insurers
The full OCD assessment may be partially claimable through VHI, Laya, or Irish Life Health as an outpatient psychologist benefit, depending on your plan. Your clinician's receipt can be submitted for pay-and-claim reimbursement. Check your Table of Benefits or call your insurer before booking to confirm your per-session benefit amount.
GPs are excellent generalists, but they typically have 10–15 minutes and don't use validated psychological screening tools. This consultation is 30 minutes with a specialist clinical psychologist using a validated instrument (OCI-R, GAD-7, or PHQ-9) — designed specifically to identify and quantify the condition you're concerned about.
Not from stage one. The 30-minute consultation is a clinical screening review — your psychologist will tell you whether your presentation warrants a formal diagnostic assessment (stage two) and explain your options. A formal diagnosis requires the full clinical assessment.
Both options are available. Online consultations happen over a secure encrypted Zoom link. In-person consultations are available at our Dublin clinic. You can choose at booking.
The €89 consultation is paid privately. The full clinical assessment (stage 2) and ongoing therapy (stage 3) may be partially claimable through VHI, Laya, or Irish Life Health under your outpatient psychology benefit, depending on your plan. We provide all documentation needed for pay-and-claim reimbursement.
