Clinical background
My approach
I have treated more than 800 clients with OCD.
Working with so many people with OCD has shaped both my understanding of the condition and the way I practise. What my clients and I have learned together keeps me curious and continues to guide how I develop my methods.
There is much to learn from reading, but my most fundamental understanding of OCD has come from this shared work. I am very grateful for the effort my clients have put into exploring OCD with me, including when it has been at its most difficult.
When people search for OCD online, many places describe OCD as chronic. I believe that is fundamentally wrong. OCD requires that the clinician understands OCD and has the necessary tools and techniques to treat it.

Clients say
Experiences of treatment with Jesper Krogholt, in clients’ own words.
-
This is the first time I have been able to talk to someone about my thoughts. Feeling completely safe and being met without judgement is huge for me. I just wanted you to know. Thank you, Jesper.
-
I really like that you are so thorough and know so much.
-
There is science behind it and humanity in front of it.
-
You have made a huge difference to me. I can now live my life.
-
I always feel more courage after I have been with you, Jesper.
-
You have helped me fundamentally push OCD away. Previous psychologists, although well intentioned, mostly led me in circles.
-
I am impressed every time by how you can come up with things I can actually use. It is simply such a relief. I really feel that there is progress.
-
For five years I fought not to think these thoughts. And now I can. It is so freeing. I am so happy.
-
You have made my life so much better. I am forever grateful to you.
-
You are so positive, and it means a lot to me that you make me feel not ill.
-
It is incredible that you can describe and explain how I think. No one around me understands it. It feels really reassuring and safe.
-
It means a lot to me that you understand OCD so clearly, and how it works. I feel so well recognised, as if you can see what I am thinking.
-
I am grateful that someone like you has chosen to work with OCD - and knows so much about it.
-
I feel truly fortunate for the tools I have been given and the understanding of how to handle my OCD. If I had not received this help and guidance, I do not know what I would have done. I could not have come out of it without your help. It is worth gold.
-
This is the most beneficial thing I have ever done for myself, so thank you so much, Jesper.
-
I am so grateful to have found you. No other psychologist could have helped me from hospitalisation to now having my life back.
-
I have got more out of this one session than I did from the 10 sessions I had with the metacognitive therapist.
-
I just want to say that your treatment for my OCD has been absolutely out of this world. I have never, ever made as much progress as I have since I started seeing you. It has been a real ‘wow’ experience, although of course it has also been hard work.
