As a therapist, I strive to incorporate a combination of practices, tailored to your needs. I work with both individuals and couples. In my practice, I encourage feedback, to ensure I am giving the best support possible.

I work with LGBT+ clients, and will affirm your gender identity and sexual orientation. I am also sensitive to those with a different cultural background to my own.

• CBT: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps us to challenge negative thoughts and overcome particular behavioural patterns.
• ACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy recognises some thoughts and feelings are integral to who we are, and works us to live out our personal values. Whilst this might seem contrary to CBT, often the best outcomes for patients can be found in the middle-ground.
• Sleep Counselling: This approach deals with both thoughts and behaviours that interfere with proper sleep, with the goal of improving sleep quality.
• DIT and IPT: Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy work to address underlying factors in relationships, to improve our feelings and social skills. As a result, this can improve our wellbeing.

My story begins in Scotland. It was here I worked with Tribe UK to support Jewish youth. I also worked as a support worker, for adults with learning disabilities, at Teens+ and Cosgrove Care. In the great city of Glasgow, I carried out my studies in psychology. Here, I also became Vice President of the Jewish Representative Council and worked for Kosher Scotland.

My story then takes me to Durban, South Africa, where I worked with the Jabulani Project, providing counselling for children and working on outreach projects. Additionally, I worked with the charity on opening a shelter for locals. At St Raphael’s Special School, I taught communication and also worked with the Autism unit, improving parental understanding.

Finally, I arrived at the promised land - Israel. Studying for many years in Jerusalem, I worked my way up numerous yeshivot to gain semicha (ordination) and became a rabbi. This involved studying Jewish law, theology and philosophy. I am now a mashgiach (supervisor) at Yeshiva Hamelech and a director & lecturer at Emek Learning Center. I am also married, and have three loving children.

So, why become a therapist? I believe that there are many ways to support people in life, both spiritually and psychologically. I feel strongly in the need to help people overcome their challenges, whichever form that takes. Whilst I believe there a connection between the soul and and emotional life, my work is focused on helping you achieve your personal goals and dreams, rather than imposing my own views, religious or otherwise.

My main practice in counselling comes from Scotland, where I achieved an MA in Psychology at the University of Glasgow, and worked as a professional Sleep Counsellor for Sleep Action.

More recently, I have achieved a Diploma in Psychotherapy, which extensively covers developmental, relational and therapeutic approaches, with a core underpinning of ethical practice.

These qualifications are recognised within the State of Israel. My practice operates in Jerusalem.
