About Me
Anthony W. Harrison, PhD
I am a clinical psychologist based in London (UK). My clinical practice has included work at tertiary referral services specialising in tic conditions (e.g., Tourette syndrome), OCD, PTSD and anxiety, as well as child and adolescent mental health.I currently work in the Tic Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. In this role, I assess, diagnose and treat tic conditions, as well as comordid disorders. In addition to tic disorders, I work with young people experiencing difficulties associated with OCD, anxiety and other neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism and ADHD. As part of my work within this specialist service, I provide consultation to schools and local services regarding management of the challenges associated with these conditions.
I recently completed a PhD at the University of New South Wales, which examined neural markers of the brain's capacity to distinguish sensations that have been self-generated from those created externally. In particular, my research explored the ways in which prediction and attention contribute to the generation of movement, and the processing of resultant stimuli. I'm interested in how deficits in these mechanisms contribute to the symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as the cognitive psychopathology of mental illness more generally. I worked as a casual academic at UNSW while completing my studies and am pleased to share these recent student evaluations of my tutorials.
