Sometimes life becomes overwhelming in ways we never expected. Pain can feel endless, as if it’s never going to ease. When things around us begin to shift, we can find ourselves stuck in a place of hopelessness or helplessness, unsure how to move forward.
In those moments, many of us turn inward with harshness. We tell ourselves we shouldn’t feel this way, our emotions are wrong, inconvenient, or too much. We try to keep going, to please others, to hold everything together, and somewhere along the way we lose sight of ourselves. Feelings of stuckness, emptiness, and meaninglessness can quietly take over.

As a qualified integrative therapist, respect is at the centre of my beliefs. I fervently believe that an individual, no matter who you are, should have the arena in which to be heard, without prejudice, without judgement, and with compassion. Our inclusive space will be one of confidentiality, trust and a pace that you feel able to go at, and my hope is that we will work to resolve, or at least identify, some, if not all, of the reasons that you've decided to reach out.

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.

Hi there! I am Amber, the Director of Healthy Mind Psychology. We aim to be a different type of practice. Our focus includes work with those people trying to cope with all the stresses and strains of unprecedented times upon us. But many struggle with issues outside of the normal narrative of mental health, or physical health too. Our practice aims to explain the stress response (whether that be from overdue bills, a critical family system, a harsh workplace, current or previous traumas, or a host of other things!) and the science behind how the mind/body interact to create physical symptoms, emotional distress, or bad habits!

These are the main issues I help with: change, anxiety and burnout, overwhelm, ADHD traits, trauma, loss and identity or relational challenges.
You look like you’re coping. But inside, something feels off. You might be overthinking everything, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, burnt out from holding too much for too long, questioning your direction, identity, or going through a period of change. Your life doesn’t follow a straight line. And you’re starting to realise the usual advice doesn’t quite fit. Rather than trying to “fix” you, we work to understand you. Together, we: make sense of your patterns; understand how your past experiences are shaping your present and build a way of living that works for you - not against you. So you can move on with clarity and choice.

Are you feeling a growing distance in your relationship — lonely, unheard, or going round in the same difficult patterns? Maybe communication has broken down, trust feels shaky, or life just feels overwhelming and it’s starting to affect how you connect with the people around you. You don’t have to work it out on your own.
Relationships can be a real source of comfort, but when things aren’t working, it can feel confusing and painful, and it often spills into other areas of life. You might be dealing with conflict at home, a relationship ending, anxiety, low mood, or just a constant sense that things don’t feel quite right.

Choosing a counsellor is a daunting task. Most of us use the same language to describe what we do and how we do it, making it even harder to decide. I have been there, and I learnt that choosing a few counsellors to have an initial meeting with, is a good place to start. This way, you get a flavour of how your work with that person will look like. I invite you to book a free exploratory session with me and decide afterwards if we are a good fit.
