I have helped those struggling with OCD and intrusive thoughts for a decade so understand experiencing these symptoms can be scary and confusing, but I know that you are NOT your thoughts, and there is help available. I have extensive training in ERP and I-CBT therapy to help you get your life back.
Dr Julian Thompson has a lot of experience treating OCD using evidence-based interventions. OCD can be quite varied and result in a lot of distress and difficulty for people. Dr Thompson aims to clearly identify what type of OCD is occurring and then help the client develop effective ways of managing their OCD, reduce distress, and engage more in meaningful and valued living.
I have experience working with people who have mild, moderate, and severe OCD. I generally take a CBT-based, exposure/response prevention approach when helping people to overcome OCD. This depends, of course, on your experience of OCD. I am also available to help autistic people manage OCD-like symptoms they find troubling.
Living with OCD can be overwhelming, as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours disrupt daily life. In therapy for OCD, I provide a supportive environment to help you understand and manage your symptoms. Using evidence-based techniques from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we work together to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms.
