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 am Dr Bianca, a Clinical Psychologist based in London, UK. I specialise in providing therapy, both individually and in group, for mental health issues concerning depression, generalised anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), social phobia, health anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, anger management. Together we can tailor the pace and style of each session to your specific needs and circumstances. I am warm, compassionate and respectful in my approach towards clients. My aim is to restore a state of wellbeing in those who come to me for help.

No matter what brings you to therapy, it is important. You might be finding that distressing thoughts or feelings are getting in the way. Or perhaps you experience numerous unpleasant physical symptoms. Emotional response is a normal response, but understandably, it can be unpleasant, and might feel uncertain what to do when it happens. Sometimes we all need a bit support and guidance; we don't have to deal with everything on our own, especially when it gets tough. I offer evidence-based therapies within a context of kind, supportive therapeutic relationship. I currently work for mental health organizations and in private practice.

I am a multilingual Chartered Principal Counselling Psychologist (English, Italian and Spanish speaking) recognised by the professional bodies Health and Care Professions Council and British Psychology Society, currently offering online therapy which consistently shows itself to be as effective as traditional therapy. With over 15 years’ experience, I provide a range of evidence based psychological therapies in line with NICE recommendations guarantying a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space.

I get it, life can get overwhelming sometimes. You feel unwell and don't know where to start. You can't put your finger on anything because everything seems like a lot right now: Family, relationships, self-esteem, work... nothing feels good anymore. You feel lost and sometimes don't really know what to do. You might struggle to enjoy the things you used to, or to get out of bed in the morning, or to feel like yourself. Sometimes you might feel ridden by anxiety and feelings of hopelessness and sadness that you can’t seem to move past. Life can look grey at times, like it has lost some of its meaning.

My goal is to enable a strong mental foundation where mindful skills will help you keep your life in reach. Progress means change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or a range of strategies to iterate development safely. The result, a genuine approach for you to always find a better way forward.

I'm a warm, compassionate therapist who's enthusiastic about helping people make a noticeable difference in their lives. I offer you a safe and respectful space to talk and explore your concerns freely and authentically. Whatever you're struggling with, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery. Our work together will help you to gain understanding of everything you think and feel and gain awareness of the hows and whys of your patterns and their effect on your behaviour. Taking the first step towards positive change can be daunting and courageous, but you don't have to go through it alone.

I know how difficult it is to find a therapist you can trust for help with your emotional and psychological difficulties. Sometimes our suffering is concealed from friends, family or colleagues because we are good at hiding it but deep inside, we are left feeling far from happy, fulfilled or content. At other times our difficulties are more noticeable. I am passionate about helping people live better lives. I help them discover what matters to them, what type of person they want to be and how they would like to behave. Once their values are clarified I help them make sustainable changes towards the things that are important to them.

I work with young people and adults who are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety; sometimes feeling overwhelmed, low in mood or lacking in confidence. You may have had upsetting experiences that you are trying to process, or finding it difficult to get on with people close to you? Some of my clients are feeling overwhelmed at work, and looking for support. When we meet, I will listen carefully to try to understand why you may be struggling and what changes you would like to make. After the assessment we will make a clear plan of what you would like to achieve and what a successful outcome from therapy looks like.

Would you like to feel better about yourself? Do you want to move forward in life? I have over 20 years experience of working with clients and together we’ll work on helping you to feel less stressed, helpless and alone. I may use counselling to help provide a safe, judgement-free space where you can open up and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to the worries and dilemmas within your life. Or I may use Cognitive Behaviour therapy to help lift your mood by restarting positive activities, gain control of your thoughts or help you to face your fears so that you regain a sense of achievement within your life.

How would your life change if you got rid of anxiety, insecurity, stress and low mood? CBT and coaching can help you understand why you are feeling the way you are, and put you back in control of your own life and emotions. Through CBT and coaching, you’ll also get practical tools that are scientifically proven to work. Whatever problem you’re experiencing right now, it can be overcome with the right strategy and techniques. You won’t have to worry about your emotions getting out of control again, because you’ll know how to cope with them.
