About

I help people gain a deeper insight into what's happening to them at a particular point in their life. Some are recovering from past traumas or destructive relationships, others are working through depression or anxiety. Whatever it is, I help make sense of it by identifying the problem, clarifying goals, and encouraging behavioural change to create a stronger, healthier and happier you.

Therapist

Eli has been a very strong pillar of support for years for me. As someone who suffers from anxiety I often find myself feeling overwhelmed by situations that I’m in however Eli is able to help me understand how to deal with the issues in front of me in a way where I feel my feelings are being acknowledged and respected.

Eli is an absolute gentleman. Makes you feel right at home during the sessions and helped me release a lot of stress over some problems which I bottled up for too long. We connected through bark at a low point in my life and I will be forever grateful for the great Eli. Thank you & would highly recommend. :) More...

Addiction Therapy

Eli was great and helped me work through some challenging times, refocus and on a new path in life.

My friend referred me to Eli. Since the first phone call, he has been very welcoming and easy to approach. I had my doubts at the start if he could help me with anxiety, but those have been proven wrong as he has helped me a lot. Now I understand better how I feel and why I feel in a certain way and how to deal with those feelings. I would recommend him highly if someone would ask me. More...

Therapist

I had a great experience with Eli and overall would highly recommend. He was very accomodating when organising the sessions. The main thing I would like to highlight is that I found he was able to accurately explain and put a name to certain things I wasn’t aware of, explaining and relating it to me while ensuring a safe space. Also, the amount of sessions were personalised, being based on what we thought would be best for me which was nice. Overall great experience, and would highly recommend. More...

I was referred to see Eli at Talk Therapy by a friend who could see that I was trapped in my thinking that was not serving me well.

Eli has a unique gift of being able to listen and then process my thought patterns and behaviour, in a very considered, engaging and effective way.

After a few sessions with Eli, I was able to uncover what was at the core of my beliefs of the world around me, the nature of the relationships I have with family and friends and I believe most importantly, shining a light on my internal world. I feel I have more conviction in my beliefs and feel more aligned to my values. I also feel a lot more free to explore things I haven’t experienced before, including tapping into my creativity. Overall, my quality of life is now at such a different level to what is was beforehand.

This was all done in a safe and thought-provoking way. I am so grateful that I was referred to Eli.

Eli is truly a professional and an amazing human being.
He takes very little time to understand your pain points and he really works on them until the problem you have is solved.
He can also find other issues that you might have to work on and that you never thought about. :)
I enjoyed each and every moment of this path.
I reached my happiness and balance through his wise talks, his hard work and kindness.
Whenever I will have a problem I will call him straight away.
I will recommend Eli to whoever needs a honest and incredible therapist.
All the best Eli!
Thank you so much for everything you did for me!!

Eli is a very warm and welcoming therapist and a good listener. I like that he uses and exercises during our sessions which have helped me to learn more about myself. I also like that there are practical steps to implement after each session. Eli also explains things well to give you context and understanding of your own situation which I really like. More...

Counselling

Eli is a wonderfully empathetic and kind person. Within merely a number of weeks, I have been able to identify some of the roots of my anxiety, triggers and coping strategies with the help of Eli.
Through working with Eli, I have also benefited from his extensive knowledge of psychology and his informative approach throughout his sessions. This is turn helped me to understand my emotions and actions on yet another level.
Eli has given me invaluable help and advice throughout our sessions and I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering starting the journey of seeing a psychologist.

I highly recommend working with Eli. I found the whole experience to be highly insightful and transformative. I am not perfect but I feel so much better that my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Q&As

I find it rewarding to see real improvement in the lives of my clients. Many feel hopeless when they first arrive and after a few short weeks you can start to see changes taking shape.

Therapists work most effectively in private practice. Its difficult for big institutions to personalise services. Working in private practice is the best way to help people get better.

Just like athletes or musicians who are born with an advantage, the same is true for therapist. Some people are better at it than others. I'm lucky to have been born with a natural curiosity which is necessary for effective therapy. A good therapist doesn't have the right answers, they have the right questions which identify patterns of behaviour that hinder someone's ability to form relationships, make sensible decisions, manage emotions or communicate effectively.

Yes, I provide phone therapy but I prefer to see clients face-to-face. Therapy seems to work more effectively that way.

During the pandemic I moved my office. But now that the pandemic is over adjustments are no longer necessary.

Services

I work with many clients who experience anxiety. In my experience, the emotional connection to anxiety is more important than cognitive (thought) patterns. Exploring your emotional relationship with anxiety is the gateway to changing that relationship.

Schema therapy addresses a whole range of issues from eating disorders to depression. It is commonly used for long-standing problems and has shown remarkable results in helping people to change negative patterns that they have lived with for a long time.
