Trying to find the absolutely 'right' therapist to walk alongside you through the journey of therapy can be confusing. 

Knowing that in this process, you may need to shed a few layers you have wrapped yourself with over the years for protection can feel daunting, and rightly so.

Hi. My name is Yael. I am an integrative therapist with a wealth of clinical experience having worked in the NHS Mental Health services, and in the field of wellbeing and mental health for more than two decades. 

I am trained in a variety of approaches for the single reason that I don't believe that clients should be fitted into a model - rather, as a therapist, it is my job to know when to surface which type of skill, frame or model to meet your needs.

Clients who approach me seek support on a range of issues, more specifically: anxiety, low mood, relationships, communication, confidence, imposter syndrome and burnout. I work particularly with professionals who seek to improve their wellbeing beyond their current experiences.

In most, if not all cases, I find that eventually you may have come to the point that you wish things would feel and be different. You already know the pattern well, but you might need some help with learning how to finally break it and create something new for yourself and maybe evn those that you care about.

Many times, we can blame ourselves as if we haven't tried to change things - when we have so many times. 

The fact is that changing old patterns of thoughts and behaviours isn't easy. And this is where having someone on your side - to listen fully but know when to challenge at the right place, at the right time with the right level of tension can be one of the best investments you can give yourself this year.

To achieve transformational results, we both need to be committed to the process of change and be curious of what may come. If fear is a barrier, we will explore this so that we can find ways of overcoming it to reach the goal you have set for yourself.

How long will we work together?

This will depend on what you are looking to gain from our sessions and what feels right for both of us. When I work with individuals who are experiencing significant challenges - work will be more intense and more frequent. 

However, those who are seeking personal growth and development, tend to look for longer-term, yet not as frequent engagement. 

Since I am also an accredited coach and team coach - I can integrate coaching with therapy if this is what we have contracted in our first conversation. 

In thera-coaching there is an opportunity to re-negotiate the therapeutic/ coaching contract as required so that we stay on track. At times the initial set goal changes as a deepening level of awareness surfaces, which can bring newly found areas you may become more curious about.

As a therapist, coach and a team coach, I have the knowledge and expertise to support both individuals and those in relationships (personal or work) to improve their relationships.

In the first instance, I invite you to contact me to schedule an initial non-obligatory 30 minute discovery call.

During this call, we will look to get a sense of what brought you here, what you wish to gain from therapy or coaching, and consider a roadmap that will get you there. 

The aim of this call is also for you to consider whether I am the right therapist for you.

Since I offer both therapy and coaching which have different rates, I will be clear with you about the options I believe would work for you best if you decided we worked together

I mostly work with adults online in the UK and internationally, and offer home visits in the vicinity of London and Hertfordshire at an additional cost.
