The OCD self-check
How much is OCD taking from you?
A short, reflective check, written by Hora. It won’t diagnose anything, but it can help you see how much space it’s taking up.
Private by design: your answers stay in your browser. We don’t see, save or track them, and nothing here is linked to you.
Over the last two weeks, how often have you felt…
A reflective check written by Hora: a signpost, not a diagnosis.
This is a reflection, not a diagnosis. Hora isn't an emergency service. If you're in immediate danger call 999, or NHS 111 (mental health option). Samaritans: 116 123.
How it works
Three steps to get you started:
An assessment
A 25-minute assessment with an experienced clinician, to understand what you need and find the right fit.
Choose your therapist
Straight after your assessment, you’re sent a selection of therapist profiles to browse, each with their own specialisms and interests. You choose who you’d like to work with, and begin soon after, with no long wait for your first session.
A weekly hour
Open-ended weekly sessions online, at the same time each week, held just for you. No contract and no minimum commitment, so you stay for as long as it helps.
£26 for your first assessment, then £40 a session. No membership and no minimum commitment.
How Hora helps with OCD
Understanding the cycle, and easing it.
Your therapist is equipped to understand the cycle, and help you loosen its grip. The same steady hour, every week, held for as long as it helps.
Good to know
Common questions
Yes. OCD is very treatable. The NHS recommends a structured form of CBT as the main talking therapy, sometimes alongside medication. Therapy can help you understand it and keep it under control, and if a specialist, structured programme would suit you better, we’ll be honest about that at your assessment.
No. Intrusive thoughts are very common, and having them doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. In OCD they cause distress precisely because they go against your values; they aren’t wishes or intentions, and OCD is not your fault.
A one-off £26 assessment, then £40 for each 50-minute weekly session: no membership, no minimum commitment, no hidden fees. Genuinely affordable, with your therapist paid fairly.
It’s worth asking who actually delivers therapy this affordable. A lot of low-cost online therapy comes from counsellors early in a one- or two-year training, almost always working unpaid, and sometimes presented as fully qualified when they’re not. Hora is the honest version: your therapist is a psychotherapist in advanced UKCP-accredited clinical training, the deepest and most rigorous route in the profession, closely supervised and with hundreds of clinical hours behind them, and paid fairly for every session. Therapy is open-ended, with no session cap and no income test, and you choose who you work with. Genuinely affordable, and never built on someone’s free labour.
Hora isn’t an emergency service. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent support, these free services are there any time: Samaritans on 116 123, Shout by texting SHOUT to 85258, NHS 111 for urgent mental-health advice, and Switchboard for LGBTQIA+ people on 0800 0119 100. If you’re not in crisis but things feel heavy, booking an assessment is a good next step.
