Welcome illustration for OCD Doodles showing the slogan "Helping People Understand OCD... One Doodle at a Time." Hand-drawn visual resources inspired by lived experience, designed to help people understand OCD and support meaningful conversations.

When I was trying to make sense of my own OCD, I couldn't find visuals that reflected what it actually felt like. So I started drawing the diagrams and doodles I wish I'd had. Today, they're used by people with OCD and qualified therapists around the world to help people feel recognised, understood and less alone.

Why I Created OCD Doodles

OCD Doodles grew from my own lived experience of OCD.

I spent over two decades struggling with OCD before being diagnosed at 29. It took another five years to access the right treatment, and I don’t want anyone else to have to wait that long.

I create simple, visual infodoodles to help people understand OCD, feel less alone, and access support sooner.

These resources aren’t therapy. They are designed to support clearer, kinder conversations in sessions, in families, and in everyday life.
