About Naftoli

Naftoli Lifschitz offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and grief. He pays attention to how past trauma and attachment patterns affect present life. He also supports people facing anger, career uncertainty and major life changes.

He draws on 14 years of practice and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a core method alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and working through difficult memories when appropriate.

Background and approach

He aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Naftoli describes himself as attentive to cultural differences and works to make people feel accepted regardless of background. He encourages open conversation and tries to create a calm space for honest talk.

That approach helps people address communication problems, commitment worries and feelings of isolation. He has worked in a range of settings in the United Kingdom and has supported many clients over his career. He explains strategies plainly and checks progress as therapy continues.

This helps people build coping skills for chronic pain, mood difficulties and addiction-related concerns. Practical issues such as divorce and separation, control and impulsivity are addressed with clear techniques and conversational exploration. He also supports work on life purpose, forgiveness and guilt where those issues arise.

The focus is on useful change rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How CBT and EMDR work in online therapy

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties and stress-related problems.

EMDR is an approach that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Sessions involve guided attention and reflection on past events so memories can feel less overwhelming, which can help when trauma or abuse are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods and check whether they are helping, then adapt the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the same professional therapeutic focus.
