Naftoli Lifschitz helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and grief. He supports those dealing with trauma, anger, career questions and major life changes. He uses practical tools to help people start feeling steadier and more in control.

He has 14 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where appropriate.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life steps rather than long theory-heavy talks. In sessions he aims to build a non-judgemental space for talking through feelings and dilemmas. He pays attention to cultural background and different life contexts, and works to understand each person’s situation before agreeing a way forward.

Naftoli helps people with practical problems such as communication and commitment issues, impulse control, and coping with chronic illness or pain. He also supports work on forgiveness, guilt, shame, isolation and finding life purpose. People meet by talk-based formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How CBT and EMDR can work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality. It uses practical exercises and small homework tasks to build new thinking and coping habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. In short sessions the therapist guides attention while helping the person process painful events, which can ease trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then recommend CBT, EMDR or a mix based on those factors. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if needed.

Online therapy here is delivered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from a distance. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer typing or need flexible, brief support between longer sessions. Overall online options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that best matches practical needs and comfort.
