About Naftoli
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. Naftoli Lifschitz helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief and trauma. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as core approaches.
Naftoli draws on long experience working with people referred from medical settings and private sources. He uses clear, practical talk in sessions and focuses on identifying patterns that keep problems going. Work often involves looking at thoughts and behaviours, and practising different ways to respond between meetings.
He also uses EMDR where memories and past events are contributing to current distress. This approach is used alongside CBT when memories or trauma are part of the difficulty. The mix of methods is picked to match the issue a person brings.
Naftoli pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes values, expectations and relationships. He describes himself as comfortable discussing multicultural concerns, attachment issues, and matters around guilt, shame and forgiveness. He also supports people facing chronic illness, pain or major life change.
Sessions follow a straightforward structure: agree goals, try focused exercises in session, and practise steps between meetings. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How CBT and EMDR are used in online work
CBT is a structured approach that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions people learn to spot unhelpful thinking, try alternative ways of thinking, and practise new behaviours between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties and problems with stress or motivation.EMDR focuses on distressing memories and the ways those memories continue to affect day-to-day life. It involves attending to a memory while using bilateral stimulation techniques to reduce its intensity. EMDR is typically offered when past events are clearly contributing to current symptoms such as trauma responses or prolonged grief.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, explain options, and recommend a combination of CBT and EMDR when that best fits a person’s needs and preferences. Clients help shape the plan and can change direction as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, health appointments and busy family days. It can also allow shorter check-ins, less travel time and more flexibility about where and when meetings happen.
