Let's Talk about…. OCD and young people
Episode 16
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026
In this episode, Helen is joined by Mia and Alice Farrington to talk about OCD in children and young people. Mia shares her lived experience of developing OCD as a child and what it was like to go through CBT with Alice as her therapist. Alice, a clinical psychologist at the Oxford Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre, explains how OCD presents differently in young people than in adults, why CBT works so well, and what treatment can look like, including externalising OCD and using behavioural experiments. The conversation also covers guilt and shame, the impact on families, how OCD can change its "mask" over time, and where to find support.
