There are many free OCD resources on the internet, here are a few that may help:
Therapy for OCD
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the main therapy for OCD. There is a particular part of CBT that works for OCD which is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. A CBT therapist will be able to help you get better – contact one of the OCD charities to find a CBT therapist, other mental health charities, your doctor, or search online for a CBT therapist.
