Hello and welcome! I'm Amber, and I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big—and sometimes daunting—step. I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to get here, and reassure you that just by being here, you’ve already taken an important step forward. Everyone deserves to be heard and supported. No one should have to suffer in silence, and I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly—especially if you feel like you’ve had no one else to turn to. Sessions can be short term, long term, or open-ended—tailored to suit your individual needs. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My name is David, and I offer outcome-focused therapy for complex challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties, whether these arise at home or at work. I believe lasting change comes from understanding where difficulties originated and how they continue to shape your life today. Our work may involve exploring past experiences and the emotions linked to them in a compassionate, empathic, and non-judgmental way. This helps uncover how earlier experiences inform how you think, feel, and respond in the present, creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting, and sustainable change over time.

Some of the healing tools I offer in my practice are art, mindfulness, meditation, body movement, breathing, sacred geometry, poetry, play therapy and other creative methods or we can talk.
Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

It can leave you feeling lonely, unsettled, and unsure where you belong. I have a particular sensitivity to supporting people through major life transitions, including relocating to the UK, and through experiences of trauma or adversity. Together we can make sense of those feelings at your own pace, rebuild your confidence, and create a sense of home within yourself again.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

Most people come to me when they have reached a point where insight alone is not enough. They are successful, capable and often appear very composed whilst privately they are overwhelmed with anxiety (often with a financial aspect), relational conflict, burnout, identity shifts, or long standing patterns they cannot seem to change. They have tried managing, coping and pushing through but something deeper needs to be understood. If this is where you find yourself, you are not alone and we can navigate this together. I work well with adults who are reflective and ready to understand themselves at depth.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, overwhelm, or low mood, or noticing how past experiences continue to affect your relationships, emotions or sense of safety. Trauma can leave the nervous system feeling constantly on edge, disconnected or caught in responses that are hard to shift alone. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gently understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin to feel more grounded and supported within yourself.

We are all, in some way, trying to make sense of ourselves. The contradictions and polarities. The feelings we can't explain. The ways we love imperfectly and are loved imperfectly back. The parts that want connection and want to be seen and the parts that are afraid of it. This isn't dysfunction. This is being human. I am an MBACP integrative Psychotherapist and Relationship Counsellor and I work with individuals carrying anxiety, grief, and the quiet weight of unlived things. I work with couples who still love each other but have lost the thread, and something vital has gone quiet.

How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
