I found the practice very supportive, very empathetic, insightful and non-judgemental. I worked with Dr Erlend Slettevold who is a wise, thoughtful professional. Many thanks

I saw Ilan after suffering panic attacks related to both my professional and personal life, leading to a breakdown. This was off the back of ignoring similar symptoms the previous year. Seeing him really changed my life and I don’t know how I would have gotten through this period of my life without him. He not only gave me a safe place to talk but offered meaningful advice and strategies to help me thrive and grow in to a better human. I can’t recommend him highly highly enough.

I saw Ilan on a regular basis over the last couple of years. Having seen a number of therapists over the years during stressful periods in my life, I found Ilan to be the most helpful to support me through several transitions in my personal and professional life. He is able to provide support and empathy while still ensuring that I consider practical long term changes to improve my health. It is clear that he is also great with children and young adults. If any of my children were to require support in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Oak Tree Practice.

The Oak Tree Practice and Dr Ilan Ben-Zion, have been extremely helpful throughout my therapy sessions. Helping to identify some of the root problems to my anxiety and building strong coping mechanisms which have helped me reduce my anxiety levels. I would highly recommend Dr. Ilan Ben-Zion if you're experiencing severe anxiety or going through a challenging time in life.

Illan and his team are excellent in what they do. They’re welcoming, accommodating and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend.

My experience with therapy at the Oak Tree Practice has been incredibly transformative. The support and guidance I've received have proven instrumental in not only managing but understanding the root causes of my mental conditions, specifically anxiety and insomnia. The sessions delve deep into understanding past experiences, connecting them to present challenges. What stands out is the practice's commitment to not only identifying issues but also equipping me with practical strategies. From mindfulness techniques to personalized interventions, each session empowers me with tools for daily life. The Oak Tree Practice isn't just addressing my immediate concerns; it's laying the groundwork for long-term mental well-being.

Everybody I have worked with operates at the highest standards of professionalism combined with a deep capacity for empathy and humanity. Essential for anyone seeking help at the Oak Tree Practice, is the fact that they are very thoughtful in assessing whether they can help you before entering a commitment.

Ilan and team provide a fantastic service that has helped me on more than one occasion. They are pragmatic, responsive and consistently go over and above to provide support. Even when not actively using the service, knowing they exist is genuinely helpful. 5 stars without doubt

Dr Erlend Slettevold was great, empathetic, helpful and creative in his ability to guide me through a very rough patch. His sessions were insightful and supportive - highly recommended.

Had a really good service from Ilan, he provided a space where I was incredibly comfortable and spoke about things I hadn’t discussed before. The whole treatment plan was incredibly useful and has helped me to deal with anger and stress a lot better. I can’t recommend Ilan enough, a very professional friendly chap.

After covid I felt I had lost a lot of confidence in social situations and sought help. I was referred to the Oak Tree Practice and immediately felt at ease. After an initial assessment I was connected with Dr Erin Vignali. Erin made me feel incredibly comfortable and I was able to open up immediately which helped uncover any issues I was having. Within a few sessions, I could already see an improvement as I could now begin to understand what was happening when I became anxious. Erin & The Oak Tree Practice really helped me practically build my confidence back up and gave me the tools to cope and deal with issues when they arise in a way which was personal to my circumstances. I highly recommend The Oak Tree Practice and Erin and thank them for helping me.

I found the Oak Tree Practice by chance and I am so pleased that I did. My son has been seeing Ilan for a while now and the change in him has been so wonderful to see. He has helped him in so many ways and my son says that Ilan has been the best person he has ever talked to to help him understand himself and move forward in a really positive way. As a mum, I just wanted my son to see someone who was professional, warm and positive and pro-active in his approach - Ilan is all of these things and we are really happy to recommend him to anybody (we have already passed his number round to friends).

Ilan was fantastic , couldn’t speak more highly enough or recommend someone more than him.

I don’t believe it’s an exaggeration to say that Dr Ilan changed my life. I initially went to see him with depression and anxiety so crippling that I couldn’t live a normal life. Two years later and I have never been happier. It is like the issues I had in the past never existed. Going to see him every week actually became a pleasure, he is friendly, personable and has a great sense of humor! He definitely met me at the point I was at and always made me feel much more positive afterward. Plus his love for reading in order to supplement his knowledge and techniques is truly inspiring. I would recommend him to anyone who is currently struggling with their mental health :)

Ilan Ben Zion provided a cheerful, empathetic and warm environment for discussions. He got to the essence of the issues I was facing very quickly and provided a wide range of very helpful techniques to deal with them. His calm and unruffled demeanour provided the perfect forum for therapeutic discussion and practical assistance.

My daughter was struggling with severe anxiety and low mood. Ilan (at the Oak Tree Practise) was able to support her in developing coping strategies and challenging her negative beliefs. As a parent, I felt part of the therapeutic process which was important to both myself and my daughter. Ilan is responsive, flexible and always there to give advice, even between sessions. My daughter excelled during her GCSEs because of the interventions and support provided by Ilan. She still returns from time to time if things are getting on top of her and the door is always open. I would happily recommend Ilan and the practise without hesitation.

I got in touch with the practice for to help with bereavement after my mum passed away. I had my first session Dr Ilan and it had an immediate impact. I found Dr Ilan to be an attentive listener and not missing any details. The sessions helped me with the bereavement but also challenges I was facing in my personal life. I have been in regularly speaking to Dr Ilan whenever I have any issues and have been in contact over a year. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It really does make a lasting impact on your life and assists you with learning more about yourself.

I had a great experience with Dr Erlend Slettevold. I am very grateful for the support he has provided.

After suffering with anxiety for several years, I came across Dr Ilan at the oak tree practice. Immediately I felt at ease with him; he was calm, sensitive and kind. He has given me many strategies for helping me manage my anxiety on a daily basis and I now feel that I've made a big improvement and am able to get on with my daily life. I can't thank him enough.
