Serin and her Dad did great.  Sadly ITV This Morning are again going to 'OCD experts' who are not qualified.

I've just caught the end of the discussion on this show and it was about ocd...if anyone is interested it's on again on itv +1...

Was the OCD specialist a qualified psychologist?

I thought Serin and her dad talked about OCD well and in a thoughtful and intelligent way. Shame the same can't be said for Eamonn and Ruth. OCD is not a spectrum! I'm sorry it just isn't, well not the way they mean. I also think it's important to note that the programme that is going to be on, doesn't really show 'extreme' OCD it justs shows OCD.

There were two people, the lady I don't know I didn't catch her name. The guy I am not sure what is qualifications are, the private website his mum runs seems to omit including details of the therapist qualifications (red flag warning), but he is not BABCP accredited.

The woman was Emma Kenny, don't think she is a BABCP accredited psychologist either. Her qualifications are on her website, I think mainly counselling qualifications although could be wrong. 

Can't believe he doesn't mention any qualifications on his website yet he was an 'OCD specialist'.

It's his mum's website... an OCD therapy service we have had many issues with in the past.
