About Naftoli
Naftoli Lifschitz is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. He works with people feeling stuck because of stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addictions, grief, anger and life changes. He also lists life purpose among his areas of focus.
He uses clear talking and structured methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a main model and also offers EMDR for trauma-related issues. Sessions involve practical steps, and time is spent identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Across his career he has worked in primary care settings and with private clients referred by a range of organisations. He has a diploma in counselling and a first-class MA, and he has been BACP accredited since 2016. That background shapes a practice that combines practical tools with longer conversations when needed.
People come to him for help with motivation, confidence and coping skills after big life changes. He also supports those dealing with chronic pain, attachment worries, communication problems, and alcohol or drug concerns. Work may include managing impulses, processing guilt or shame, and planning steps toward clearer priorities.
Sessions move at a steady pace and aim to be direct and pragmatic. Naftoli will help set goals, practice new skills between meetings, and revisit what's working as therapy progresses.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Naftoli commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. EMDR involves guided attention and memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the difficulty, and then recommend methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted if an approach does not feel helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. He will discuss practical arrangements and session length so therapy can fit into everyday life.
