Family Therapy Counselling in N3
I love to spend time with my family and friends, particularly my two little nephews(!), watch comedy and travel.
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 work with children, adolescents, younger and older adults with a range of issues including low mood/ depression, anxiety, OCD, family problems, relationship issues, work related problems, families with autism and ADHD, and stress.
I offer therapy to those who may be experiencing emotional difficulties and who need some time and space to work through these challenges in order to find a way forward. I work with parents, adolescents, children and adults. My experience includes most recently working at Barnet CAMHS, together with adult NHS settings, schools and organisations. My work is informed through the use of CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. Working collaboratively, I offer a warm, empathic approach in order to develop goals and strategies that may be most beneficial and effective to suit your needs.

Life is bumpy and we sometimes need a bit of extra support to make sense of what is going on around us and the issues we have to deal with. I offer a supportive and confidential environment to work together to see how things are feeling for you and how you might want to look at changes or cope with changes that are out of your control. You might be coping with family changes, relationship issues, stress at work, bereavement or feeling overcome with anxiety which could be leading to some unhelpful coping habits. We can work together in a supportive, non-judgemental way.

I enjoy keeping fit and especially love dancing! I like experimenting with food and cooking, as well as spending time with my family and friends.
I have worked in mental health for over ten years with adults across the lifespan, children and families who have experienced a range of difficulties, in both community and inpatient settings. I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and currently work in a specialist NHS service for people with learning disabilities. I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.

Therapy with me will help you increase your knowledge about yourself, your partner, your family and the patterns of interaction between you.
I am a UKCP psychotherapist registered with the professional standards authority. I am a systemic practitioner using transactional analysis as my main model. This means I can work with couples and families as well as with individuals. Couples will inevitably have problems and suffer disillusionment, this is normal and not a sign your relationship is doomed. Problems in families are often laid at the door of one person but as we look at what is going on we usually find that the problem is in the system. I have lived experience of adoption and living with neurodiversity so understand how these experiences effect couples and families.

Life is full of challenges. At times we cope well, but at other times we need help, and talking to family members and friends can be difficult. At points like this, talking confidentially in a safe space to a professional counsellor can make a real difference. Through a warm and supportive relationship, we will explore any difficulties you are having in your life right now. We will also look back into your past, to try to understand patterns of behaviour that might not be quite so effective for you today. By exploring feelings and experiences and building self-awareness, we will work together to move towards a positive change.

My focus is on past trauma, especially relationship and family issues.
Are you struggling with low mood or anxiety? Do you experience symptoms of PTSD such as panic attacks or flashbacks/nightmares? How is this effecting your life and relationships? My 'trauma informed approach' to therapy helps you reflect and understand what happened to you in the past, as well as cope better with present situations. Through building self-esteem and supporting you to find solutions to your problems we can improve your confidence and self awareness... which ultimately can lead to a place of acceptance and enable you to form more fulfilling relationships in the future.

A family may have experienced difficult events in the past which have not been openly discussed and are causing alienation.
My practice is exclusively focused on relationships and family counselling. I am not a general counsellor with relationships as an add-on. Alongside my private practice, I have worked with Relate for almost 20 years. I also counsel couples and families at a cancer charity and am very aware of the impact of illness on relationships. As a former family lawyer I have seen the emotional impact on couples and families facing dispute and conflict. I have an MA in relationship counselling. I am based in easy reach of Hampstead, Golders Green, Primrose Hill and Belsize Park.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
