Ayelet Wellard, NCPS

Ayelet Wellard uses a mix of talk therapy and practical techniques to help people feel steadier and more capable. She combines client-centred listening with approaches such as cognitive behavioural work and hypnotherapy to address feelings that get in the way of daily life.

She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and are available to international clients. Ayelet aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth rather than technical or confusing.

Many people come to her for stress or anxiety, low mood, problems with self-esteem, grief and trauma, or difficulties with intimacy and relationships. She also supports people facing family conflict, career strain, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions. Additional areas she sees include body image, codependency, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving.

In practice she listens first and then works on simple, realistic steps you can try between sessions. That can mean looking at patterns of thinking with cognitive behavioural techniques, practising mindful ways to manage tension, or using hypnotherapy for relaxation and focus. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set small achievable goals.

Her style is supportive and aimed at building practical skills. People who prefer a calm, conversational approach and clear tools to try often find this helpful. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step helps match you to sessions that suit your routine.

How conversational approaches and online sessions work together

A client-centred approach focuses on listening and following the person's pace to build trust and work through concerns. It is useful for people who want a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about relationships, self-esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and everyday stress by offering tools to try between sessions.

Hypnotherapy supports relaxation and concentration and is used alongside other work to reduce tension and support clearer thinking. It can be helpful for stress management, sleep issues and building confidence when combined with talking therapy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Sessions can be adapted as you go so the plan matches what works best for you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversational session, while phone calls can fit a shorter check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving or travel.
