Sports Performance Counselling in London

I work as a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapist. I support people in how to enhance levels of Self-Belief (confidence), resilience, motivation & how to manage performance anxiety, emotions & pressure. Pressure in life, as in high-demand or performance environments is a certainty & how we perceive pressure determines our response. We can choose how to think about pressure, but this depends on our Self-Belief, which is an essential ingredient when navigating demanding situations. In these environments we need access to skills to strengthen, maintain & take care of our mental fitness & mental health. Self-Belief is a trainable skill!

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Chartered 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.

I have experience working with adults, children, and family systems. When supporting adult clients, I use an integrative approach, ensuring the client's individual needs are fostered. Sessions will provide a comforting, supportive, and confidential space for clients to explore themselves, their thoughts, actions, and the relationships in their lives. An assessment will help decipher a client’s current difficulties, whether that be related to depression, anxiety, stress, traumatic experiences, bereavement, or another cause of discomfort. A plan will then be made as to how best to support you.

I have over 10 years of practice in a varied setting which includes Individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, young peoples therapy (13 years old on).
