Break Free From OCD
Take Back Control Of Your Life
Practical strategies, expert coaching, and real results to help you heal your intrusive thoughts & compulsions
Hi, I’m Robert.
After overcoming OCD myself and working with hundreds of people struggling with intrusive thoughts, I know how overwhelming OCD can feel. That’s why I created a coaching system designed to help you stop ruminating, take action, and move toward the life you deserve. Let’s do this together.
Testimonials from Past Clients Who Have Transformed Their Life with OCD Coaching
I found Rob through his podcast and I could not recommend coaching sessions with him enough! I have been to several therapists, each with different approaches but none are nearly as effective as Rob’s. Rob is compassionate and understanding, and his focus on acceptance and commitment therapy is extremely valuable. The mind can be challenging to navigate sometimes, and Rob has an excellent understanding of the anxious and OCD brain, and is able to explain how to get on with enjoying your life despite these challenges. Thank you Rob for helping me and others, the work that you do is so valuable!

As someone who has intrusive thought OCD and has done Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in the past, Robert was a great resource for my latest "flare up" . My session with him was refreshing and he provided me with useful tips and tools to better manage intrusive thoughts when they arise or get creative. I highly recommend a chat with Robert if you're experiencing anything similar or would like to learn more about how to manage thoughts.

I'm very grateful to Rob for his terrific service. With his support I have been able to make great progress in managing my OCD. Through the techniques, strategies and knowledge Rob introduces, I feel more balanced and equipped than ever. It's reassuring for me that I'm working with somebody who uses their personal experience of struggle and hardship combined with their hard work in pursuit of recovery. Passing down the gold on what works and what doesn't. A reliable, down to earth, lovely fellow that will help you foster a healthier attitude towards yourself and your experience with Anxiety and OCD.Thanks a heap for what you do, Rob. Looking forward to continuing our work together.

A quick review: I've seen a few psychologists and they were helpful but for me personally nothing beats talking to someone that has gone through what I have. Robert's insight into my issues allowed us to connect and he understood how to help. He always came prepared to every session we had with a topic that had me improving and moving forward. Because of this I was able to make great progress and deal with things a lot better. I gladly recommend him.

Robert is an excellent coach. He is highly skilled in managing OCD and anxiety and offers practical tips and information that really help to reduce anxiety, stress, and OCD symptoms. He is compassionate and makes an immediate personal connection to give you the trust you need in a coach to help move forward towards your goals and living a life that is consistent with your personal values. I highly recommend Robert as a coach!

Having suffered with OCD for a number of years, I tried numerous private therapists, all to no avail. However, since starting coaching sessions with Rob I have finally seen some progress and improvement! The fact that he has experienced OCD himself gives him the empathy and in depth understanding that I found others distinctly lacked. His ACT approach and learning to tune in to your personal values is great, as it helps build solid, positive foundations for recovery. I have always found Rob very easy to talk to, non-judgemental and supportive. I would highly recommend his coaching sessions!

Amazing to eventually find a native English speaking close to Barcelona. Robert has really been a true inspiration for me and helped me to understand how and where to focus my thoughts. It took me a long time (years!) to actually realize that I have a build up of stress or anxiety or however it should be labeled. Robert helped me to learnt to accept “it” and process “it” in a simple way. I would truly recommend getting in touch with Robert, I think he still offers a free first time consultation, so I mean what do you have to loose?

3 years ago I have gone to therapists before, but no one gave me the feeling of being understood like Robert did. His own experience of OCD and in depth knowledge about the disorder make him a very good coach for everyone who is on the ocd recovery journey!

I have suffered from OCD since childhood and have tried every type of therapy and so can honestly vouch for Rob being the best I have had. I would recommend using someone like him who has experienced OCD himself - as opposed to a psychotherapist. Rob´ s approach is making huge in-roads into my OCD but also his coaching and teaching of values is improving my quality of life. He is very easy to talk to and I can honestly say I don ´t know where I would be if I hadn ´t stumbled across his podcast.

Really grounded and informative session on OCD and Anxiety. His podcasts have been fantastic and the coaching session was really brilliant. He was very present, positive and really took the time to really listen and respond in a thought out, genuine and experienced way. Highly recommended.

I think the fact that Robert does the first meeting free says a lot about him and his passion for this work. He was very flexible when it came to working with my schedule as well. He was very kind and compassionate.

He is very knowledgeable and just wants to Help people. He has a great understanding of OCD and you can tell how he just wants to see you feel better.

I found Rob to be a very unique coach within the field of helping people with ocd and anxiety. I personally had a few sessions with Rob which helped me get started with erp for ocd (especially sensorimotor theme... Which is so hard to come across when getting help with this particular issue). He is very compassionate, understanding and relatable. His podcast is something which I have gained so much knowledge from and put a lot of his suggestions in to practice. I would 100% you listen to the podcast and even request some personal coaching if you are struggling.

I've been working with Robert for over a year now and doing so has made all the difference in my recovery from OCD. When I consider how badly my intrusive thoughts were tormenting me last winter versus now, it's a difference between night and day. I worked with multiple local mental healthcare professionals and all of them ineffective at helping me because they seemingly didn't understand how OCD really works. Robert has been there, knows the struggles, and knows what can help. I do have to follow his advise in order to see results, which is always compassionate and he never makes me feel bad when I fail to be able do something. I am so grateful I found him to help me in my recovery, I can't recommend him enough to those with OCD and anxiety.
