About
Dr. Dipesh Patel is a Psychologist specialising in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Tic Disorders, and the neuropsychological impact of Multiple Sclerosis. He works clinically within the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), London – a specialist tertiary service for patients whose presentations sit at the intersection of neurology, neuropsychiatry, and neuropsychology.
His clinical approach is grounded in neuroscience and behaviourism, particularly exposure and response prevention and habit reversal, integrated where appropriate with cognitive and psychodynamic approaches. This combination reflects a working principle: effective intervention has to match the actual mechanism of an individual’s difficulty, not a generic template applied regardless of presentation.
Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Patel is an MPhil/PhD candidate at the University College London’s Queen Square Institute of Neurology, researching the relationship between Tic Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – a condition known as Tourettic Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, which frequently goes unrecognised in standard intervention pathways. His research directly informs his clinical work: individuals benefit from an approach shaped by current evidence rather than intervention protocols that predate a proper understanding of how these conditions overlap.
Dr. Patel sees individuals presenting with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Tic Disorders (including Tourette Syndrome), Tourettic Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and the neuropsychological and cognitive aspects of Multiple Sclerosis.
