next steps and funding
Taking the first steps towards therapy can be tough, but we understand, and we are here to help.
accessing the programme
If you are interested in participating in our OCD Treatment Programme you can refer yourself or ask either your GP or other relevant healthcare professional to refer you.
Following this, a brief telephone screening with our programme administrator will take place before a formal assessment via Zoom to establish if you may benefit from attending the course.
Not everyone is eligible for our course, as there are certain criteria that would make the programme not suitable for you. Please see these criteria here.
If you feel that you would benefit from attending our course, simply get in touch. In the first instance, please send us an email with a brief description of your OCD problems to sue@astoclinics.com, fill the form out here, or call us on 02843444110. Our office is open Tuesday to Friday, from 10am to 4pm.
how much does it cost?
We are a charity, and our aim is to help people access effective treatment for OCD. As such, we have funding available to pay for the treatment for a number of people in each group. However, we find that some people are happy to make a contribution to the cost, and others are able to pay for it themselves, or via an insurance company.
The initial clinical assessment costs £200, and each of the 12 group therapy sessions costs £150. The total cost of the programme is therefore £2,000.
All of these options will be discussed with you in detail by our programme administrator.
We will always find a solution that fits with your personal financial situation.
Remember, we have funding available, so please don’t let a financial concern stop you from contacting us.
