About Naftoli
Naftoli Lifschitz is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. He practices in the United Kingdom and works from a perspective shaped by workplace and primary care experience.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, known as CBT, as a core model to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviour patterns. He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people coping with traumatic memories. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking alongside emotional processing.
Naftoli draws on 14 years of experience and carries the BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background includes work linked to GP surgeries and supporting clients referred by a range of organisations.
In sessions he aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about plainly. He emphasises clear communication and culturally sensitive understanding when discussing clients' concerns.
People beginning therapy are guided through a straightforward process. He encourages small, achievable steps and adapts the approach to each person’s goals and day-to-day pressures. The focus is on practical tools to manage mood, relationships and work-related strain.
How CBT and EMDR are used in online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress, and involves practical exercises and straightforward homework.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supports people who carry distressing memories. It combines focused recall with guided processing to reduce the emotional impact of those memories and can help with trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, options and preferences and will collaborate on a plan. That might mean starting with CBT techniques, or using EMDR when past events are the main issue.
