Erlend is just the best ever honestly, changed my life. Couldn't recommend him any higher, I'm so so grateful for everything he did to help me. Feel like I've got tools to help me for life and I'm currently the best version of myself - thank you thank you!

I’ve had sessions with Dr Isabel Avery from November 2025 till February 2025. I came with depression and loss of senses in several spheres of my life. She has created a safe environment for me to express my feelings and concerns and shed light on the aspects of things that were hidden from me and outshined by old beliefs that were harming me instead of making my life better. I have to pause the therapy at the moment, but I’d like to come back and can surely recommend Dr Isabel Avery to people in similar situations. I feel much better now and try to take more care of my feelings and needs and build my relationships correspondingly. The practice itself is efficient, answers all my emails on time and tries to solve the issues (like moving the appointments or finding the best slot) swiftly and efficiently.

As a parent I found the service very professional. My daughter's therapist Laura Eid was always available for an update and was very professional and sensitive and was very strict about confidentiality. My daughter found Laura sympathetic and understanding .She was able to talk through some of her worries Laura worked hard to give her strategies and help her understanding of her own emotions.Laura was always flexible with session times.

The practice provides very good service. My son had an assessment with Dr Laura Eid, she has been really professional and made him confortable during the session. She explained us all the steps of the assessment process and the final report she provided was really detailed and helpful. I would highly recommend!

I have recently completed a year of therapy with Dr Anita and I can honestly say she has been wonderful. Non- judgemental, a safe space, challenging but never intrusive, a truly professional lady with such empathy and understanding. Having felt quite stuck and paralysed by certain unexpected and traumatic life events, Dr Anita has helped me find a way forward and feel positive about the future. I look forward to 2025 a stronger version of my self. Thank you.

I saw Dr Ilan after my mother passed away from cancer; an event that sent me into a deep depression that I found difficult to escape from. He provided a safe space, and helped me develop a new calm in my life, he was both professional and kind, and I would highly recommend him and The Oak Tree Practice.

I had a problem eating following treatment for cancer. Unjulie quickly understood my problem and discussed with me strategies I should use to overcome my difficulties. I followed them to the letter and well within a week I was eating almost normally. Could not have asked for more. All very professional, helpful, easy to understand at a difficult time and charming.

I saw Dr Laura Eid for an ADHD assessment. She made me feel at ease, and helpfully explained the full process. I would recommend her and the rest of the staff at the Oak Tree Practice for ASD/ADHD assessments as they are thorough and performed with consideration and respect.

Dr Laura Eid has been so helpful during the few months helping me work through anxiety and depression. Before starting therapy at the Oak Tree Practice I had previously done therapy with the NHS, but felt like my therapist didn't understand what I was going through and therefore didnt find it very helpful. In contrast Laura was so empathetic and non-judgmental from the very beginning, and made me feel validated about how I was feeling. My few months of sessions with her have been so helpful. I went from a very dark place where I felt like there was no hope to feeling independent and confident in myself, and finally finding regular happiness again after over two years. Laura is so kind and offered a safe space whilst also pushing me to make the necessary changes to improve my mindset and quality of life substantially, and help me feel like myself again. She has given me the tools to manage anxiety and depression on my own. Thank you so much Laura for giving me hope to keep going until I felt like myself again! Larissa the practice manager was also always very friendly and helpful :)

Larisa, the practice manager has been so helpful from the first time I contacted their team. I enquired about two Dr’s availability and experience and even though they were unavailable, Larisa made some helpful alternative suggestions and got me booked in quickly to speak to someone. She really helped me at a time when I felt overwhelmed, so having quick and clear communication was a breath of fresh air. Thank you Larisa!

Ilan was instrumental in helping me navigate some of the mental health challenges I faced during that time. He also equipped me with excellent coping strategies that have continued to support me, and I’ve even been able to share them with friends when they’ve struggled with overthinking or distress. Thank you Ilan!

I’ve been seeing Ilan since January & he has honestly changed my life. You can instantly tell he has a wide breadth of knowledge, and an ability to help you no matter what issue you’re facing. But mainly, and more importantly, you feel at ease straight away. He is a truly kind person & that comes across as soon as you walk into the room or have a call. I genuinely couldn’t recommend him more!

Anjulie - has been helpful throughout my Therapy sessions, my first session started with me not knowing I even had any feelings to speak about and now I openly let Anjulie know what is on my mind. My sessions consist of me digging deeper and understanding how my behaviours impact me as a person. Without Anjulie, I would not be as expressive and relaxed with how I am today. Thank you & I highly recommend!

I started having sessions at The Oak Tree Practice after falling out of my routine and feeling more low and anxious. I felt that I was matched up quickly, and perfectly with Dr Jonathan O’Keeffe. I felt truly comfortable in our sessions and able to share difficult but important emotions. Jonathan introduced me to different tools and techniques to try after each session which I think I will use for the rest of my life when I encounter difficulties. He was always flexible and prepared, and so I felt supported no matter what I was bringing to the session. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with managing anxiety and to those who would like to learn about being more compassionate to themselves. I cannot fault the practice, thank you for everything!

I spent a year and a half getting over an intense fear of flying phobia. I worked with Erlend Slettevold who I recommend highly. He helped me not only overcome my fear of flying but helped me grow immensely as a person. The practice itself is also great. They reply quickly and help with any issues. 5/5, 10/10, gold stars all round.

I have been seeing Ilan for just over two years now and my life looks completely different now to before our sessions. This has been my first experience of therapy and it has been nothing but positive. Ilan creates a very safe environment and I immediately felt as ease with him. He has been very supportive of my mental health and well-being and gave me techniques to manage anxiety which has made a visible difference to my life. Now, when anything happens I am much better equipped to deal with it in a balanced way and with perspective. When I was having issues in my relationship, Ilan was very flexible with doing some joint sessions which was so helpful and amazing that I could rely on him during difficult times of need. I am now in a place where I don't 'need' Ilan as much but he is someone I know I will always be able to reach out to if I need support in the future. It is so nice (and such a relief) to now go through life feeling happy and not anxious and whilst that hasn't been 100% down to Ilan, he has had a significant part to play and I can't recommend or thank him enough.

Dr Ilan did a great job of in-person sessions, working through my anxiety symptoms with me over many sessions. This was my first experience with therapy and I found it an enjoyable experience, he went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, and came up with a straightforward way to address my issues. I'd highly recommend his practice

I have had the privilege to experience the therapeutic services of Dr Ilan Ben-Zion at The Oak Tree Practice for almost 5 years now. The therapists are truly exceptional, Dr Ilan has an incredible ability to help one overcome the most challenging obstacles life can throw your way. Empathy and professionalism radiates throughout the practice from the moment you walk through the door and creates an atmosphere that sets a safe, comforting tone ahead of your therapeutic journey. The team exhibit a genuine passion for their work. Their expertise and commitment to ongoing professional development are evident. Scheduling appointments is a seamless process, and any inquiries or concerns are promptly addressed. I came to the practice in need of help with mixed depression and anxiety and I feel I have developed so many skills that have helped me manage my mental health around all aspects of my life be-it relationships, competitive sport, university or work. I was later diagnosed with a long term neurological illness which is one of Dr Ilan’s many areas of expertise and I could not have had a better experience in receiving the help I needed with the mental challenges in dealing with the situation. I cannot recommend The Oak Tree practice highly enough. Five stars is an understatement – the combination of expert therapists, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and a commitment to individualised care all make this practice stand out. The team deserves the highest praise for their dedication to fostering mental health and emotional well-being.

Our experience at the Oaktree practice was a delight (considering the challenging circumstances). Dr Ilan probably saved our child’s life and in doing so, helped us to manage his severe generalised anxiety with more confidence. His humour and very pleasant demeanour, was a breath of fresh air to all our family and we can’t thank him and his team enough. Highly recommend!

I saw Dr Ilan for about a year to help me through some mild to severe anxiety I was experiencing, in relation to health, work, travel, and general overthinking about the future/events. He was a wonderful person to talk things through with, providing the space and tools I needed to get through difficult moments, as well as building me up to the point where I no longer 'needed' to see him or go to therapy. The door is always open in case I want a future session, but I now feel capable and confident to not only think and talk through my anxiety but also tackle it when necessary. I would highly recommend Ilan (and have done to a friend or two!).
