Nachum Kaplan

Nachum (Nak – ‘knack’) isn’t your typical therapist. With a relaxed style, sharp wit, and a Ninja’s knack for turning stumbles into strategy, he specializes in helping high-achievers reframe their “failures” as hidden guideposts. His secret? Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, two decades of corporate leadership, martial arts mastery, and a very messy journey of his own. He has mastered the Art of Making Mistakes.

Society taught us to read, write, and avoid making mistakes. But what about navigating failure without self-sabotage, turning anxiety into action, and ditching “toxic positivity” for practical self-compassion? Most of us crash into adulthood, realising no one gave us the manual for being human. Nachum’s here to write it – with you.

He works with clients on anxiety, avoidance patterns, and emotional overwhelm. He also supports those facing relationship and communication difficulties, attachment wounds, and recurring relational patterns. His work extends to issues around identity, self-worth, and the inner critic, as well as work stress, performance anxiety, and perfectionism. He pays particular attention to challenges faced by young men around confidence, purpose, and self-expression.

Nachum’s therapeutic work integrates evidence-based approaches with a grounded, relational style. He weaves together CBT to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, psychotherapy to identify deep-rooted patterns formed early in life, and attachment-based work to explore how clients relate to themselves and others. He incorporates psychoeducation, making complex psychological concepts accessible, along with practical communication tools, especially for couples navigating conflict or emotional disconnection.

Clients choose Nachum for his calm, steady presence, which helps them feel safe. He offers a balance of directness and empathy, with a deep understanding of male emotional experiences and relational dynamics. He provides practical tools for communication and emotional regulation and has a strong ability to translate complex psychology into actionable steps. Above all, he brings warmth, relatability, and a strong belief in his clients’ capacity to grow.
