About

Naftoli Lifschitz

My Name is Naftoli and I am 45 years old. I have always believed that life has its twists and turns, and I have first-hand experienced difficulties. I believe so strongly that I have no right to judge anyone, and no matter what choices people make I have no right to pass judgement since I do not know what it is like to walk in their shoes. I chose to become a Psychotherapist because I saw how many people needed a listening ear and support to help them achieve their goals, and therapy was a professional way of allowing this to happen and to be able to reach out to, all those that sought answers. I have been for my own personal therapy, so I know what it feels like to be client, and therefore I have done my best to ensure that my clients feel comfortable to share their troubles whilst feeling that there is hope at the end of the tunnel.

Experience

I completed my certificate in counselling skills and Diploma in Cognitive behaviour Therapy in 2010, and since then I have used my skills as a Psychotherapist. I started as a volunteer for the NHS, in a GP surgery in 2010 for 3 years, after which I received my Masters in counselling in 2013, and in 2023 I became a qualified EMDR therapist.

Since then, I set up my own private practice working with private clients and receiving referrals from EAP programs and Bupa. I became accredited with the BACP in 2016 and adhere to the BACP ethical framework. Currently side by side with working for the Priory as a sessional therapist, I have continued to offer my services privately. My specialty is Anxiety and depression and stress related disorders, in addition to many other areas of psychological health. I work specifically with adults aged 17 and over, and have experience working with multi-ethnic and cultural clientele. I have supervision which helps maintain my practice, and to ensure that all clients receive the best quality service. I generally manage to help clients achieve their goals within 6 sessions. However, as I know my limitations, I would always support you in finding a more suitable therapist should I not able to help you.
