About Naftoli
Naftoli Lifschitz is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression and phobias. He also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and attachment concerns, grief, anger and life changes. He writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried people.
He uses straightforward, goal-focused work so sessions stay practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a core way he helps people notice and change thinking and behaviour patterns.
Background and approach
He also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when past trauma is getting in the way of daily life. Naftoli trained in counselling and holds a Master of Arts degree, awarded with first class honours.
He has 14 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and has been registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, since 2016. His background includes work in a GP surgery and with personal clients referred by employers. In sessions he aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly.
He focuses on clear steps and coping tools you can use between meetings. He pays attention to cultural differences and tries to make therapy relevant to each person’s life. Practical matters are kept simple.
Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect you and to arrange sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. It often uses simple exercises and practical homework that work well between online sessions and can be reviewed by video or text.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps when upsetting memories or trauma keep affecting the present. In remote sessions it involves guided processing and safe pacing to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.
Choosing the right approach is a shared endeavour. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. This collaborative style means you can try something and change it if it does not fit.
Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
