Get out of the Loop
OCD is complex and never straightforward. As a mental health professional, you’ve likely experienced the challenge of feeling like you’re only scratching the surface, despite your best efforts. Some clients do amazing, and others may make initial progress, but OCD shifts. There are so many triggers it leaves you and your clients feeling doubtful. This space is designed to allow you to think creatively and offer in-depth evidence-based strategies that go beyond symptom management.
About Celin
Hi, I’m Dr Celin Gelgec, a Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people get out of the loop that is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. For 15 years, I’ve been on a mission to raise awareness for OCD and empower individuals and families facing its challenges, because let’s be clear, OCD is not a cute quirk or a love of tidiness. It’s one of the top 10 most debilitating health conditions worldwide, and it deserves a better understanding.
My training started at The Melbourne Clinic in 2010, where I worked with people and families impacted by OCD and helped shape the treatment for the OCD Inpatient Programme. Since then, I’ve worked in private practice, educated post-grad students as a lecturer, and trained healthcare professionals to treat OCD with confidence and compassion. Along the way, I’ve written a treatment manual, co-host a podcast for clinicians, been on TV (see the ep here), and spearheaded community events like the “Million Steps for OCD” awareness walk in Melbourne, which had a wonderful turn out!
If you’re a fellow clinician keen to hone your OCD niche, or you’re just getting started, I’d love to support you through supervision as a board approved supervisor, through workshops, and/or through customised training. If you would prefer to get to know me first then check out the podcast I co-host with Dr Tori Miller.
Though this website is primarily for healthcare professionals, my hope is that it will also be helpful for people and loved ones impacted by OCD.

SUPERVISION
A place for healthcare professionals to focus on evidence-based techniques that don’t just help manage OCD symptoms, but address the underlying patterns that keep people in the OCD loop. In supervision, whether 1:1 or in a group setting, we will work together to unpack and formulate what may be going on for your clients so you can help them progress. New to treating OCD? We can work on that too! Keen to work together and discuss your cases? If you are a healthcare professional, follow the link to sign up. I’d love to work with you.

RESOURCE LIBRARY
Clients often ask us about resources to learn more about OCD. I’m left scrambling! to put something together to send through. To avoid the scramble, I have compiled a list with 130 resources to help you and your clients get started. The list is broken down by subtype of OCD (as best I could), and contains self-help books, personal memoirs, websites, podcasts, treatment manuals, movies, articles, you tube channels, social media accounts, etc. The list is not just helpful for clients. It’s also helpful for clinicians who are looking for resources on OCD. Follow the link to access the list!
