Counsellor, MNCPS Acc.
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.

One of the things I love about EMDR is that it puts you, the client, in control, (something we may not have had very much of when our traumas were taking place). EMDR does not delete memories but simply changes the way painful memories are stored, so that when we think about them, they no longer trigger negative emotions or sensations. As my mother once said, you can go around it, under it or over it but at some point, you must go through it. I wish you strength and healing on your journey.

Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, trauma, low mood, or emotional overwhelm.

Whether you have clear goals or just need someone to talk to, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work at your pace. I primarily work with adult individuals and couples aged 18 and over. In some cases, I also see young people aged 14 and above. My trainee therapy dog Coco (puppy) may be present during sessions, unless you would prefer otherwise.

Together, we create a safe and supportive space to explore these difficulties and develop practical ways forward.

Coming to therapy can be a difficult decision to make. When we are having difficulty in our lives our thinking can become unclear or unhelpful and we do things that we think might help in the short term, but can perhaps have a negative effect in the long term. This can result in becoming trapped in unhealthy cycles where you may also be experiencing unpleasant emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help to unravel the complex human thoughts and emotions that sometimes contribute to being less than at our best, and find new ways of thinking and being to move forward.

If you are constantly walking on eggshells and managing a partner's volatile moods while your own truth is systematically silenced or labelled as the problem, you are not alone. I specialize in helping women recover from the profound identity crisis, severe anxiety, and crushing low self-esteem caused by narcissistic abuse and coercive control. When your reality is rewritten by a partner or family member, your mental health takes a massive hit, often leaving you to face chronic depression.
