Struggling with persistent worries, overwhelming thoughts, or past experiences that keep resurfacing can make life feel unpredictable and exhausting. Many people feel trapped by patterns that seem impossible to break, leaving them unsure how to move forward or regain a sense of calm. With a background as a Registered Nurse and over 15 years’ experience across NHS services and private practice, I understand how deeply these difficulties affect both mind and body. I am a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, EMDR practitioner, and the course lead for a postgraduate CBT training programme.

My ideal client is someone who has lived with developmental trauma and long-standing emotional patterns that leave them feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck. They may function well externally but carry a deep sense of instability or loneliness inside. They want to understand themselves, break repetitive relational cycles, and feel real, grounded, and connected. They’re seeking depth, stability, and meaning because survival mode is no longer enough — they’re ready for genuine, lasting change.

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.

I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.
