Seeing a psychologist
If you are experiencing symptoms of OCD and find that they are affecting your work, school, or home life, a psychologist may be able to help. Psychologists are highly trained and qualified professionals skilled in helping people with a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns, including OCD.
There are a few ways you can access a psychologist. You can:
- Use the Australia-wide Find a Psychologist service or call 1800 333 497
- Ask your GP or another health professional to refer you.
If you are referred to a psychologist by your GP, you might be able to get a Medicare rebate that may assist with the costs of treatment. You may also be able to receive psychology services via telehealth so you don’t need to travel to see a psychologist. Ask your psychologist or GP for details.
