Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in London
Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.
I work within an integrative framework to create a personalised program of support for clients. I draw on CBT, humanistic therapy and Schema Therapy, as well as CFT and ACT. I have extensive experience working with Eating Disorders and have also worked with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, compulsions, infertility, life transitions.

DBT enhances emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, CBT helps reframe negative thinking patterns, and commitment-based therapy fosters acceptance and action towards meaningful life goals.
I’m passionate about understanding the different components of what makes someone who they are and shapes their worldview. What is holding them back? What unique strengths and qualities do they have? On a day-to-day basis, are there specific skills we could build to make life flow more smoothly? I work with people navigating challenges such as neurodiversity, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, or eating disorders. The goal is to make you feel empowered, let go, embrace your individuality, and design a life that aligns with their authentic self while fostering healthier relationships and personal growth.

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.

Life can feel overwhelming when perfectionism, self-doubt, or deep-rooted fears hold you back. Perhaps you find yourself overachieving but never feeling "good enough," or struggling with anxiety and self-criticism that drain your energy. You might be carrying the weight of trauma or difficult past experiences, repeating patterns that no longer serve you. If you feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from the life you want, know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy is a space where you can explore these struggles with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment.
