a private therapist for my son

[daryleb11Participant]

Hello; looking for a recommendation for a private therapist (for my son) who knows about OCD in England – ideally in London. My son is  19 and has all the symptoms for OCD, like instrusive thoughts, but our GP says that he does not have OCD.

GPs are not always up on ocd. Neither are therapists.

Ask your GP to make an appointment for a proper evaluation with a psychiatrist. He could then organise therapy.
