Most people experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives and need to cope with pain and confusion. You may feel stuck and unmotivated or need to work through a traumatic experience from your past so you can move on with your life. You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

You may feel stuck or overwhelmed, anxious or low, even though you appear to be coping on the outside. You may find yourself questioning why you feel the way you do or why certain patterns keep repeating in your life. You may be looking for a space where you can begin to make sense of these experiences and feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions. I can offer a calm non judgemental space to slow down, explore your thoughts and feelings, and develop a deeper understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface so you can begin to move forward in ways that feel healthier and more supportive for you.

Have you been diagnosed with ADHD or autism as an adult and found that, instead of clarity, it has brought confusion, grief, or shame? Many of the people I work with are in their 30s and beyond, navigating the impact of late diagnosis on identity, self-worth, and relationships.

The focus of our work together is compassionate self-awareness and non-critical self-understanding. We explore thoughts, feelings, and beliefs which predominate to help differentiate the prevalent experience of our lives from something deeper, more constant, and freer, within.

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.

When we first meet, I want it to feel like a space where we can genuinely get to know each other. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is a priority for me, as I believe this foundation is key to creating a safe, trusting environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and supported from the outset, knowing that you can express yourself openly without judgement. Together, we’ll set clear, achievable therapeutic goals, and we’ll revisit them as we move forward, adjusting along the way to ensure that we’re always working towards what matters most to you.
