He also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and life changes. His manner is calm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.

Naftoli has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. During that time he has worked in healthcare settings and with private clients from a range of organisations. He has supported over a thousand people across different concerns and backgrounds.
He emphasises an open, non-judgemental space where cultural and religious differences are respected. Conversations aim to be practical and clear so people can use what they learn straight away. He pays attention to communication style and tailors his approach to each person.
Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process. Naftoli encourages people to set small, achievable goals and reviews progress together. He aims to build confidence and coping skills that fit into everyday life.
How CBT and EMDR can work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes in behaviour. It often uses simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking, which can be discussed and adjusted during online sessions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past upsetting memories continue to cause distress. It involves guided processing of those memories while attending to a bilateral stimulation method, aiming to reduce the memory's emotional intensity over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide whether CBT, EMDR or a combination suits your needs. That choice can change as progress is made, and the plan is reviewed in collaboration.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so therapy fits into everyday life without asking you to rearrange everything.
