About

Dov Benyaacov-Kurtzman is a psychotherapist with a wealth of training and experience in several disciplines. His work shows us that valued action, small or big, can bring us together and help healing.

Dov merited a private audience with HRH Prince William in recognition for the contribution of his charity organisation with their psycho-trauma work in the UK after a series of terror attacks and man-made disasters.

His cutting-edge 6-pronged approach to cognitive psychological first aid teaches us how to bring quickly and effectively those affected by psychological shock from helplessness to effective functioning.

Dov has been referred to as a deep and compassionate human with immense pragmatism, energy, coherent direction, and a sense of justice.

Dov has written a book called Mind Over Terror – 3 Weeks 2 Cities 1 Mission, a true story of three significantly traumatic events which affected two UK cities. Dov embarked on one incredible mission: a mission to change the way we approach mental health in dealing with survivors of psychological shock and trauma in the UK.

Dov is an experienced trainer in Cognitive Psychological first aid and in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also hosts a number of social media live shows including interviewing the world’s leading psychologists and authors in mental health and a daily mental health show for the general public.
