How to get referral for spitting issues?

My 4.5 year old son has started spitting and is not able to stop himself. We don't know if this is a tic, OCD or soem sort of fase he is going through but we were not encouraged when I took him to our GP the other day only to be told that this is just a behaviour thing. This as soon as I mentioned it and without talking to my son at all.
I was dreading something like that when I booked the appointment and am now not very happy to go back to my surgery, although there are other doctors there too. But I'd like to access help for us all from our local CAMHS, and need to be referred. Can a Health Visitor do this?

We've already left it for about a month, and he has not started school...
