I see clients in person and online. My consulting room is behind a cosy bookshop. I offer a free initial consultation. I work with other individuals and groups to offer wrap around support and can signpost into activities to support clients ongoing growth and development. For clients with addiction, I will begin therapy when they are still using but are stable enough to engage. I offer individual and group sessions. Once in therapy I provide treatment in blocks of six sessions, whereupon we will re-evaluate goals and plan for further engagement. I work very closely with my clients to achieve lasting beneficial change.

Affiliated to a national charity to provide psychotherapy to veterans.
Having practised as a therapist for twenty years I have had the privilege to work with many creative, resilient, courageous and resourceful people. However, very few felt that way when they first came for therapy. Life can be challenging and we all struggle at times to cope with problems and stressful situations. Different people obviously find different things difficult but what everyone shares are the natural responses of feeling distressed, confused, anxious and lost. Psychotherapy can help you to express your feelings, work through anxiety and depression and develop positive responses to the challenges you are facing.

I also provide discounted sessions for veterans, emergency services staff, and student counsellors.
I work with peopl who often feel like they're carrying more than everyone realises. You might be navigating ADHD, attachment difficulties, relationship struggles, a painful break-up, burnout, anxiety, or one of those life transitions that leaves you wondering where you went in the middle of it all. Many of my clients arrive feeling exhausted from trying so hard to understand themselves. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved the Instagram posts, and know all the therapy buzzwords — but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns, wondering why it's so much harder than everyone makes it sound.

If you're not sure why you're here, then maybe I can help find out why. You may feel sad or confused, or you may just want to understand what's on your mind.  Therapy can help you explore the issues you are currently having.  Talking to a neutral, non-judgmental person can help you understand your feelings. My approach is flexible, which I believe helps meet the individual's desired outcomes.  I am gentle and self-effacing, and I offer a caring environment to help you openly share your process.

I'm Isla, I am a highly trained and experienced Psychotherapist working with client's online. Choosing a therapist can be difficult so I suggest an initial call to discuss your needs and expectations. I work with people who are seeking support and change, this could be for a variety of reasons but ultimately, if the challenges of life have become overwhelming, talking therapy is a good start. As a warm and empathetic therapist, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
