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.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurobiological condition rather than a psychological or emotional condition. It is part of the anxiety family but it requires very specific interventions. Based on the work of Drs Jeffrey Schwartz and Rebecca Gladding, I offer metacognitive behaviour therapy which allows the person with OCD to see themselves as the thinker of the thoughts that are disturbing them. And then to change those thoughts.

Individuals with Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are aware that their symptoms are irrational and excessive, but they find that the obsessions are uncontrollable or unstoppable and the compulsions are difficult or impossible to resist. Obsessions and compulsions are distressing, exhausting, and time consuming. It can significantly interfere with the individual’s daily routine, education/working life, family and social relationships. Obsessions and compulsions can lead to feelings of hopelessness and depression.
Being able to live with OCD can be very challenging, and it's not always easy to cope with. As a psychotherapist, I'm dedicated to helping individuals with this condition manage their symptoms. Through a combination of evidence-based treatments and psychological therapy, I'll help them feel more comfortable and control their thoughts and behaviours.
