Yossi Strom MS, BACP

What my clients have to say about working with me:

• I worked with Yossi for around 20 sessions during a particularly difficult chapter in my life—one where I felt like I was losing my sense of self. I was wrestling with a major decision, something I knew deep down was necessary but incredibly hard to face. Through our sessions, he helped me slow down and truly listen to my inner voice. During our sessions, he always created a calm, non-judgmental space where I felt safe to explore uncomfortable truths. He challenged me with questions that pushed me beyond surface-level thinking—ones I wouldn’t have asked myself usually. He also understood the demands of my schedule and always found ways to adapt. I would recommend him to anyone who's at a crossroads in life, feeling stuck, or trying to reconnect with who they really are.

• I first sought therapy following intense feelings of loneliness and longstanding anxieties around forming relationships, navigating the adult world, and being my authentic self around others. Yossi’s initial focus on building a genuine, trusting connection helped me to feel safe and supported while getting used to the space, and his gentle curiosity allowed me to consider big topics at my own pace. Yossi was skilled at making poignant observations and asking thoughtful questions at the right time, and he used his keen intuition and refreshing honesty very wisely. He was also happy to be playful and bring his own fantastic sense of humour and shared appreciation of the absurd into our sessions, which ensured that they were always engaging and enjoyable. Yossi made me feel comfortable to share things which I had never spoken aloud, gave me complete permission to be my whole self, and has ultimately fostered both striking growth and real self-acceptance. I have left our time together with tangible results, a fundamental shift in my understanding of myself and others, and a brighter view of the future.

• Was very attentive, good at listening to my issues and making me felt heard.

• Working with Yossi has been immensely beneficial. He is an understanding and sympathetic presence, yet I found his ability to challenge and question my point of view (when necessary) very helpful. At first he did not bring much to our sessions other than a space for me to be heard. I initially found this disconcerting but I quickly realised that his approach is to build up a picture of a client's issues by allow them space to talk. This approach was helpful in the long run as over time he became very good at linking issues and events I had talked about previously with the new information I brought to him. He made it clear that he was not there to provide me with practical advice regarding what I can and cannot do in my own life. Yet he was judgement-free when talking about any sensitive issues I brought to him and I found his input helpful. His focus on many of the issues I brought to him was primarily how it impacted myself and my own internal world. This was helpful as developing this skill is one of the main reasons I chose to start therapy. He seemed knowledgeable with the technical side of psychotherapy and provided me with helpful reading materials related to childhood trauma and arousal states when I requested. He was not afraid to explain when the topic fell outside the scope of his expertise or responsibilities as a therapist and in these instances he was keen to bring the session back within these parametres. He was patient and sympathetic without being patronising or flippant and overall I have found his therapy beneficial for my mental health and sense of self. He has provided me with helpful guidance and mentorship on a whole array of personal issues and I would strongly recommend his therapy to others. I would definitely work with Yossi again in the future!

• Yossi has a genuinely unique ability to be calming, insightful and searching all at the same time. By far the most natural and enriching therapist I’ve ever worked with. His inquisitive nature allows conversation to feel very natural and organic and I surprise myself every time with how much he encourages me to question, reassess and uncover. His sessions are soothing yet never pondering, and every session leaves me with an extraordinarily clear perspective and the confidence to tackle issues I’d previously felt were insurmountable. I’d highly recommend Yossi to anyone, whatever their experience with therapy has been.

  J. S. B

• Calm and really really knowledgable. I can’t recommend Yossi enough. I’ve had only one session but I’ve learned so much already!

  Z. S W.

• Yossi has helped me tremendously. After years of therapy and probably 13 different therapists Yossi was the first to identify that I may have ADHD. My life makes a lot of sense now looking through the lens of adhd.. I finally feel like I am on the correct course for recovery. Simply put i would recommend Yossi without a doubt.

  F. A.

• After years of therapy and different therapists, I came to Yossi at the lowest of low points in my life. I had been to over 10 therapists before that and I still couldn't get over my depression, anxiety and trauma. Having spent that last 6 months or so with Yossi, my life has changed. Yossi is inquisitive, incisive and probes into the issues, no stone is left unturned. Past therapists were happy to prolong my therapy without seeing real benefits and were content with mediocre results, not Yossi. He has been a major help in my journey to overcoming these issues that have plagued me for the past 15 years.

  F. A.

• Where do I start! I’ve been working with Yossi now for 3 months and in that time he has literally changed my life. When, I started therapy, was in a pretty low place and he picked me back up and helped me work through my challenges, giving me clarity on my thoughts and feelings. I feel very lucky to have met Yossi as his caring, calming and thoughtful demeanour really helped me feel comfortable enough to move forward. Working with him has had a huge impact on me in so many areas of my life and I will be forever grateful for his words and professional insight.

  R. O.

• Jeremy has been a fantastic therapist and I would recommend anyone who has him recommended to use him. I got in touch with him in May 2023 with several worries and concerns and ~6 months later I can say I am a better and stronger person because of the conversations I have had with Jeremy. He is a excellent listener with great insight and an ability to alter your perspective to see yourself and your concerns in a new light and able to break down down and tackle them in easier pieces. Jeremy has helped me grow as a person and in my relationship, both feel now more resilient than ever and going from strength to strength. Excellent Therapist!

  D. S.

• Has helped a great deal with social anxiety and self-confidence. Patient and easy to talk to with good advice. Flexible with sessions available and reliable.

  A. MD

• I have been having sessions with Yossi now for a few months. It was my first proper introduction to weekly therapy and Yossi helped me identify and then facilitate what I needed from the sessions. Yossi has been a great listener and approaches his input in a methodical and informative way that is easy to digest. Each session so far has concluded with a more informed view on situations and the process has been enlightening.

  C. L

• Yossi has been my therapist for a number of months now and at all times I have found him very supportive and professional during our sessions. I quickly built up a trust with him which enabled myself to discuss my depression and anxiety openly which I had been suffering with for a number of years.

  J. W.

• Since starting sessions with Yossi he has been supportive, kind, professional and a help in so many ways. I have always felt that he has understood what it is I need as a client coming to therapy, making sure each session is tailored to my specific needs, even running over time in some cases (making sure it was okay with me first) to ensure the session ended in a conclusive way. Scheduling is never an issue with Yossi as he always finds somewhere to fit you into his calendar, and lets you know with plenty of time if he will be unavailable. There have also been times where Yossi has supported me outside of our sessions including by email to help me and give advice through difficult times. Because of his help and his perspective on things in my life, I feel in a much better place than I was when I started as I have started viewing things in different ways.

  C. B.

• Yossi was professional, empathetic, and easy-going. I felt comfortable being honest and frank with him, and I found his insights helpful and, I think, conducive for the healing process. I’m very grateful for the time I had to work with him.

  Y. G.

• I came to therapy with more issues than I was aware and Yossi really helped me break things down, pick them apart, and get way ahead of where I ever was. Yossi is very understanding and caring. He made it feel very easy for me to talk and made me feel very comfortable which is very unlike me. Overall he really helped me move forward and start getting to a much better place.

  S. B.

• Yossi Strom was in my experience very gentle as well as emotionally attuned to his client. He also has a unique ability to make his client feel like he is in their headspace with them, rather than an outsider giving them advice.

  B. S.

• Having been to several therapists prior to Yossi, I was able to especially appreciate Yossi’s professionalism and effectiveness. He was always empathetic, and I always felt safe and unjudged. Yossi was also able to help me develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, which in turn helped me take several concrete positive steps to improve life for myself and my family.

  M. S.
