The Oak Tree Practice Avis 

Friendly, approachable, non-judgemental. The practice (and Isabel in particular) has really helped my daughter and our family deal with a number of quite challenging matters. I have appreciated Isabel's desire to help, her willingness to explore other ways in which to help support and her approachability and discretion. I couldn't ask for more.

Georgia is a wonderful therapist and I couldn't recommend her more!

This was my first try with a therapist and I found my sessions with Dr Jackson Kerr helped enormously with certain issues I have had.
He also gave me tools and practices that I will be using whenever I feel the need.

Dr. Isabel Avery has been absolutely wonderful with both my 9-year-old son and me. From the very beginning, she created a safe, kind, and supportive space where we both felt truly understood. My son calls her “the feelings teacher” and looks forward to her sessions every week. He feels comfortable, validated, and empowered to open up in her sessions. Her thoughtful approach has made a real difference in both our lives, and I’m so grateful for her support. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any parent looking for compassionate and professional help.

I cannot recommend Dr Bina enough!
I have decided to join therapy due to anxiety and sleep problems as all the medications I have tried, failed. She quickly understood what was going on and guided me through the sessions creating very safe environment to share my past experiences which then led to finding a way to cope with them. When I initially joined I couldn't even remember when was the last time I have slept through the night and now? It's like I'm a different person! If you're thinking of joining therapy and are still unsure, this is the place to pick.

We will always be deeply grateful to The Oak Tree Practice and Little Bee Clinic for the kindness and care they showed to our family, and especially to our daughter. From the very beginning, we felt genuinely supported and understood.

Sasha, our daughter’s therapist, was simply incredible — compassionate, patient, and truly attuned to her needs. The progress our daughter has made thanks to Sasha’s work has been life-changing for all of us.

A special thank you as well to Larisa and the whole team for creating such a safe, welcoming environment. It’s clear that everyone here is driven by a deep sense of purpose and empathy.

We couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us.

I worked with Dr Jackson Kerr over the last six months and he was an absolute professional throughout. He has helped me step up my game in both a personal and professional capacity, but also enabled me to have more fulfilment in life and manage everyday challenges. Deciding to go with Jackson six months ago was one of the best decisions I have made, and I am forever in his debt for the lessons and teachings that he has taught me.

I have two children who attend Oak Tree Practice and see 2 different therapists.
I can't praise the service we have received enough.
The therapists are totally 'human' and non-judgemental, both my children who had previously refused any form of therapy actually look forward to their sessions. My older child sees Ilan who has been instrumental in getting them through school refusal, a huge depressive crisis and major anxiety. Ilan is patient, respectful, attentive and genuine. He has been very practical throughout which has helped my child have concrete strategies to work through.
My younger child has recently started seeing Sasha. She is very calming and patient, listens and responds well to their comments. We have only had three sessions but I think my child will continue to benefit from her professional and caring approach, whilst acknowledging and validating their struggles.
I have recommended this practice to 5 other families so far whose children are struggling emotionally as well as for support with ADHD.

Dr Erlend Slettevold has been my therapist through my first experience of a mental health issue (GAD & an onset of OCD). From the start I felt comfortable and in safe hands. Erlend is fantastic at what he does and explains reasoning and processes in a very easy to understand way. He is also extremely empathetic and I feel very fortunate to have found him out of the many choices of clinics/phycologists & therapists out there.

Larisa, the practice manager is extremely efficient and cannot fault the admin side of things, which can be very important when you are experiencing certain mental health symptoms.

Highly Recommend.

Great service with an empathetic approach.
Dr Laura Eid is very professional and makes complex concepts and techniques become more relatable and achievable.

I've been seeing Laura Eid for over a year now both online and in person, to address many issues that I have had. She has been able to help me get to the root cause of many of these issues, as well as provided a plethora of useful tools to help tackle them. I couldn't recommend her more for anyone seeking professional help with their mental health.

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 :)
