About Naftoli
Naftoli Lifschitz helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, anger, career uncertainty and major life changes. He writes simply and meets people where they are.
Naftoli takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking and try out different responses. He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for people affected by past traumatic events.
Background and approach
He has 14 years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Naftoli previously worked alongside medical services and with personal clients referred by organisations, giving him experience across different settings. In conversation he aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about their worries.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and manageable goals. He pays attention to cultural background and life context when helping someone find what works. Starting therapy can feel daunting and Naftoli acknowledges that.
He works at a steady pace and helps people set realistic aims. People often come away with clearer choices, better coping skills and a sense of forward movement.

Online support
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories. In an online setting the therapist guides memory processing using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while talking through the memory and related feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and comfort level. Decisions about whether to use CBT, EMDR or a blend are made collaboratively and reviewed as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirrors face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, need flexible scheduling or want to reflect between messages. These options help make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and different routines.
