Meet Uri Bookman

How I Work

I work with patterns —

the ones that keep repeating in how you think, react, and relate.

Most people I work with already have some awareness.

But when it matters,

something still takes over.

My work is to help you see that clearly —

so you can choose how you respond in real time.

That’s where change starts.

My Background

I’m a Relationship Therapist, Coach, and Facilitator,

and a Certified Practising Counsellor (PACFA 30041).

My work draws from:

• Nonviolent Communication

• Process-Oriented Psychology

• Shadow work

It’s also informed by approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and relational work from practitioners like Esther Perel and Terry Real.

But more than any method, it’s grounded in what actually helps people change — not just understand.

Why This Work Matters to Me

For a long time, I lived with a quiet sense that something wasn’t quite right.

From the outside, things looked good.

But internally, there was a constant tension —

a low-level anxiety that didn’t really switch off.

I stayed busy.

Focused.

Productive.

But in my relationships, something was missing.

At times, I would pull back without fully realising it.

Or react in ways that didn’t feel like me afterwards.

And over time, that started to create distance.

At some point, it became clear:

It wasn’t just what was happening in my life.

It was how I was relating to it —

and what was happening underneath that.

That shift —

from trying to fix things externally,

to understanding what was happening internally —

changed things in a lasting way.

Not instantly.

But in a way that stayed.

And that’s the work I now do with others.

What Others Have Experienced

I felt completely safe, supported beyond judgment, and free to be myself.

Uri creates a space where I can open and explore what’s really there.
There’s often something I would have missed — and he has a way of helping me stay with it until something real shifts.

I’m deeply grateful for Uri’s care and insight. He truly listened, and each session offered clarity, tools, and heartfelt growth that are still making a difference today.
