The Liverpool OCD support group is open to sufferers, family members and friends, and is an informal meeting where people affected by OCD can talk to others in a friendly, non-judgemental way.

The group does not offer specific therapy or professional guidance, but is an opportunity to share ideas and strategies, and to provide mutual support.

The Brian Charity (formerly the Neurosupport Centre),
Norton Street,
Liverpool
L3 8LR

The Brain Charity building is situated on the northbound lane of Norton Road (from London Road).

We meet in the Seminar Room

The meeting usually takes place in the seminar room, although if other events are taking place the room will be indicated with a support group sign.

The Liverpool OCD support group usually meets once a month, usually on the first Wednesday of the month between 5pm and 7pm. The group is very relaxed, so please don't worry if you are a little late or have to leave early.

This group is very well attended, and whilst we try and given everyone talk-time, this is not always possible.

Research
Matthew Simpson is inviting members of the Liverpool Group to take part in a study looking at attitudes and experiences of trivialisation/normalisation of OCD.  You can take part if you are over 18 and have a diagnosis of OCD. You will be asked to complete a Q sort which involves sorting a set of statements on a grid, based on how much you agree/disagree with them.  If you are interested, please click this link to complete the survey which should take 20 minutes.  (Please note this is independent of OCD-UK).

You can contact Catherine who will be co-hosting the support group by emailing catherine@ocduk.org. Catherine runs the support group in a voluntary capacity and works full time, so please allow at least 48 hours for a response.

This modern and accessible building is centrally located with excellent transport links. Liverpool Lime Street railway station is just a 5 minute walk away and numerous bus routes stop close by.

There is also ample parking only a few steps away for the rest of your delegates in several local pay & display car parks which can be viewed online here.
