I am an MBACP registered psychotherapist. I work with clients of all ages, but have a particular interest in working with children and young people. I have a longstanding interest in how our early relationships affect our development. I offer counselling (including play therapy where appropriate) and parenting support. I work as an integrative therapist. This means I blend elements from different approaches and I tailor this according to each of my client’s needs. This can include exploring how buried thoughts, feelings and experiences shape our current relationships.

In life, we all encounter moments of uncertainty, challenges, and emotions that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. If you've found yourself here, it's likely you're seeking support and guidance through such times, and I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. Whether you're struggling with bereavement, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, neurodiversity, exploring difference or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you with unwavering support and guidance.

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.

Growing up is not easy. Life is not easy. But there are safe ways to work out some of the difficulties and increase resilience.

Are you yearning for change in your life but finding yourself unsure of where to begin? My therapeutic approach is systemic and solution focused. Instead of treating the troubled parts of ourselves as problems to get rid of, I see them as aspects that want to be seen. By exploring the underlying, and often unseen, dynamics of an issue, new understandings and fresh insight can be revealed. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your distress, empowering you to find solutions and move forward in your life.

During June and July I am offering £50 for online sessions and have few spaces for in person in Finchley and East Finchley Fridays afternoons and online to.

I have qualified over 15 years ago and my original training was Person Centred but I draw from other Humanistics prespectives. I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate, and I am a registered member of BACP and BICA.

I have a wealth of experience and have worked within the NHS and in Private Practice. I offer therapeutic work within a clinic setting to infants, children, adolescents, young people, parents and couples. I supervise and offer consultation to other professionals.

Art Therapy is a readily accessible, gentle and effective form of therapy. It is suitable for individuals of any age who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and wellbeing challenges. You may be struggling with personal or family relationships, work related stress, mental health, past childhood trauma, loss, bereavement, identity, addiction issues; or be a very concerned parent reaching out for help for your child or teen who's additional SEN's, mental health, behaviour, school/ social difficulties, adverse childhood experiences are requiring a sensitive, creative and nuanced approach to their support and treatment.

I specialise in helping people who are struggling with self-esteem, shame, overwhelm, family/relationship difficulties, bereavement, and all forms of addictions. I believe that whilst 'you can't go back and change the beginning, you can start where you are and change the end' (C.S. Lewis) and I aim to help you do that.

"I just want to talk about everything that is going on...!". "I want to be happy". "I am looking for a place to vent". "Some days the world is too big". "I do not know what is happening to me". "I am sad". "I am anxious". "I am stressed". "Work is too much". "I feel lonely". "I have a problem with my partner, friends, children, teachers, family, work colleagues...". These are some of the things that I had heard from friends, relatives, colleagues, clients over the years when they are looking for a different point of view or extra support in their life.

I am extremely passionate about being a counsellor. I am a very down to earth, realistic person from a mixed back ground and I will adapt to the client needs and my degree and experience means I can work in most styles of counselling depending on your needs. I am happy to work with teenagers and children as I also have a lot of experience with children. I’m happy to have a chat with anyone interested in counselling to see if I’m the right counsellor for you free of charge.

My primary therapeutic grounding is in Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an approach to change that’s solution focused, practical and geared towards achieving goals specific to your life circumstances and challenges you feel are holding you back. Over the years, I've done extensive professional training so I tailor my approach to each unique individual. My ideal client is curious, open to discussing and exploring ideas and keen to pursue lasting personal transformation. This a real challenge which takes great courage. Successful therapy requires some degree of trust in the process and collaborative therapeutic alliance.

I am an Integrative arts therapist who works with teenagers and adolescents. Having an integrative approach means I combine traditional counselling with various art modalities to facilitate emotional healing, personal growth and self expression. My primary role is to provide a safe and supportive environment for the young person to explore their emotions, thoughts and experiences. Using art is particularly helpful when a young person finds it challenging to articulate their emotions, By using art and traditional techniques I aim to foster self esteem, self acceptance and a positive self identity whilst navigating whatever challenge

I work with several issues such as various forms of anxiety (health, social, panic, perfectionism), self-esteem and trauma.I believe in making warm connections with my clients and help them make sense of their difficult feelings in a safe space.

I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.
