About Naftoli

Naftoli Lifschitz is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma and abuse. He supports people coping with relationship problems, grief, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. He speaks English and draws on 14 years of professional experience to guide conversations toward practical steps.

Naftoli uses straightforward approaches in sessions. He often works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour.

Background and approach

He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method some people find helpful for processing painful memories. Sessions aim to be clear and goal-focused while keeping the pace set by the person coming for help. He trained in counselling and holds a diploma, and he also completed a Master of Arts degree at first-class level.

Naftoli has been registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, since 2016. Over his years of practice he has supported a wide range of people from different backgrounds. In therapy he tries to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement.

He emphasises practical communication and aims to help people build confidence and coping strategies they can use day to day. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Ways of working Naftoli names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

CBT and EMDR in online therapy

Naftoli commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress. CBT is well suited to worries, low mood, stress and many everyday problems by teaching practical tools and steps to change patterns.

He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, which is a therapy that helps some people work through distressing memories by using structured processing techniques. EMDR can be used with people who are dealing with trauma-related symptoms and painful past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then suggest options. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people read body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and messaging can be useful for short check-ins or if written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping appointments consistent.
