Ajaz Ahmad Sofi

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes as an OCD Therapist, providing evidence-based therapies such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and other forms of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help individuals manage symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). With over eight years of clinical experience, I have successfully treated numerous individuals struggling with various forms of OCD, including contamination fears, checking rituals, intrusive thoughts, and symmetry-related compulsions. To enhance understanding, I have created unique yet universally applicable metaphors to illustrate how OCD develops as a vicious cycle of fear, compulsion, and temporary relief. These metaphors help clients visualize how the cycle reinforces itself and how, through therapy, it can be broken. My approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring that therapy is compassionate, client-centred, and effective in promoting long-term symptom relief. I am committed to empowering clients to regain control over their lives, reducing OCD-related distress, and improving their overall quality of life.
