People seek therapy when they are dissatisfied or unhappy and feel that it is possible to make changes but this is very difficult alone. Psychotherapy is a particular type of conversation exploring thoughts, feelings and relationships. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to think about what is troubling in a safe setting to understand and improve relationships, both with ourselves and others. My thinking and approach places relationships at the heart of experience. When patterns in relationships can be understood we can feel liberated to change.

Hi, I’m Isobel - a warm, direct and down-to-earth therapist offering a space where you can feel truly heard.

When did you last feel really listened to? Do you feel ready to explore why you might feel confused, unfulfilled or overwhelmed by life's difficulties? Early relationships and life events may have shaken your ability to fully value yourself or others. You might be experiencing anxiety or depression. Being able to talk openly to an objective and compassionate counsellor can offer you the support you need to connect with frightening or buried feelings and start to let go of strategies that no longer work for you. You can start to find your own truth and a sense of who you really are.

As an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist, I offer a calm and creative space where children, young people and adults can explore feelings safely through art and play. You don’t need to be good at art – it’s simply a way to express emotions and make sense of experiences when words are hard to find.
With over 25 years’ experience supporting children and families, including many years in early years care and education, I’m passionate about helping primary aged children and children under-5s and their parents build emotional connection and resilience. My approach is gentle, relational, and rooted in empathy, creativity, and trust.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to make sense of potential or confirmed ADHD, autism, or ongoing mental health difficulties. Perhaps you’re seeking clarity through assessment, or support that truly understands how neurodivergence shows up in everyday life - in education, at work, in relationships, or within your family. You want answers, reassurance, and support that feels respectful, not rushed or dismissive.

Problems are personal, bereavement, depression, stress, relationship breakdowns and anxiety can all feel unbearable and isolating. The reasons for seeking counselling or psychotherapy are as unique and varied as we are. Sometimes we have an idea of what is annoying or upsetting us. Sometimes we struggle to understand issues that darken our days. We might enter a cycle of blame or self-loathing in which we get lost, finding it difficult to move forwards in our lives.

People come to therapy for different reasons. For some, it’s anxiety, low mood, or feeling caught in patterns that don’t seem to shift. For others, it’s more a sense that something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to explain.
Therapy can offer a space to begin to understand these experiences. I work with many difficulties including anxiety and depression, and self-esteem issues and see therapy as a gradual process where the relationship is central. Together, we can explore what’s going on, understand the roots of difficulties, and begin to find ways of coping that feel more manageable.
