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.
