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.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to do something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? I've always been fascinated by the power of the brain - how it can work for us and against us. With over 7 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand how our mindset can either lift us up or hold us back.

I have a great deal of experience with various clientele including; Olympians to recreational athletes, performing artists of all levels with a range of performance, relationship and personal issues. I work with schoolchildren and students with examination anxiety. I have a great deal of experience working with employees and employers with various work related issues. I work with adults, children and teenagers both individually, in teams or in groups. As a registered supervisor I supervise trainee and other psychologist see BPS RAPPS & QSEP.

I work with people who feel stuck and want to create more movement in their life. Movement is the capacity to change. We are most alive when we are moving forward. It’s from this place that we can adapt, feel better and live with more creativity and impact. As a psychotherapist I support you to create the movement you need and bring about change in you life. This can include the processing of a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

We all experience negative thoughts, feelings and emotions in our lives. Whilst we may not be able to control everything that happens to us, we can learn to manage the way in which we respond. Learning to be psychologically flexible allows us to manage ourselves in the present moment, rather than letting our thoughts, feelings and emotions take us for a ride!

Working with a counsellor can help you see things in a new perspective and give support through difficult times. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds and can help you with a variety of concerns. My clients tell me that I am warm, insightful and understanding. My passion has always been to work with people, supporting personal growth and helping people develop happier and more meaningful lives, providing a safe environment where they can find inner strength and resilience.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or a bit lost? Perhaps you’ve recently had something difficult happen in your life, or maybe you’ve been struggling for a while now and have decided to seek support. Do you want a space to be listened to, understand what is going on and how to change things? I can offer my experience and expertise, drawing on the best evidence to support you and give you the tools & techniques you need to feel better. I can help you to get a better understanding of what is going on, what’s working for you and what isn’t and come up with an idea of how we can move things forward with a personalised therapy plan.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 13 years experience in mental health. I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ADHD, ASD and ADHD assessments.

Sometimes in life, problems can become overwhelming and dominate your life. It can be something from the past or current events that you can’t get beyond. Maybe you need help to make sense of what has happened and its effect on you, your thoughts, feelings, relationship and life. If it matters to you then it's worth the time, space and effort you need to work on it. I offer you a honest open environment where you feel understood without fear of judgement, where you will gain insight, discover ways to resolve or manage your challenges with someone neutral there to work with you.

I feel passionate about helping other women thrive. So, I typically work with women, who are looking to effect change in their lives. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of women, who felt stuck, with little or no control over their personal or professional lives. They reported feeling hopeless, frustrated, and tired of the status quo. Some, saw their identity no longer aligning to their values, or their purpose threatened by the natural order of things like children leaving, unworkable relationships, loss of loved ones, stress at work, or hormonal changes and even traumatic experiences that left them wondering...What Next?

We all have moments when we feel low, stressed, anxious, depressed and just sometimes we can't seem to let go of our past experiences. Believing that the relationship between therapist and client is key, I aim to create a safe, warm space where clients can be heard and understood, to explore the depths of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to speak the unspoken. I understand that each individual experience is unique and therefor tailor therapy to the needs of each client separately.

Hello and welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced, qualified integrative therapeutic counsellor. Effective counselling can be life-changing and I offer warmth, care, sensitivity and support for adults of any age and background in person in SE1 and via Zoom. Our sessions will involve us working together to explore your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, experiences and meanings. Whether you are struggling with big life issues from the past (eg childhood, family), present (eg relationships, loss), long-term difficulties (eg anxiety, depression, self-esteem) or feel lost, low or unsure of how you feel, counselling with me can help.

Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting, and very confusing, with a lot of terminology and names that might feel complicated and mystifying. My view is that therapy doesn't need to be so confusing and shrouded in secrecy and strange names. To put it simply, I offer you the chance to talk about whatever might be troubling you in total confidence at the same time, on the same day, in the same place, every week. That consistency, alongside the relationship we will develop, is all part of the healing process that therapy can provide.

I am a doctorally trained counselling psychologist, with a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology, a masters in clinical neuroscience, and an honours degree in psychology. I have worked hard to be where I am, and, after a total of ten years of training, I aim to provide the best care possible for whomever I encounter. As an integrative counselling psychologist, I work in a holistic manner that takes into account clients’/patients’ whole perspective of who they are. This takes into consideration the many different facets we all exhibit as human beings.

At times it feels we are stuck or that we don’t have other options. It can feel that we are powerless and we cannot find ways to pick us up from the floor.
