I believe that every person I've ever worked with has been doing the best they can with the resources they have. Not everyone has the same resources as others do, whether by trauma, neglect, poverty, neurodiversity or discrimination, many people are trying to navigate life without the tools and skills they are often expected to have. My goal as a counsellor is to try to help you rebuild and learn these missing resources to help you to navigate life with resilience, confidence and joy.
There are many different ways we can do this, and I aim to tailor my approach to best fit the client. My strongest skills are in person centred, non-directive therapy where I give you space to explore and express your experience. I also integrate aspects of other approaches, particularly somatics (relating to the brain-body connection) and attachment theory
It's been my greatest joy and privilege throughout my career to get to know the people I've worked with in the deep, real way that I have, and to watch them blossom. I know that this work can feel scary and difficult, but I also hold hope for all my clients and faith in their intrinsic strengths and values - and I will be there every step of the way
Take the first step to help. Izzy Barlow now

I specialise in working with complex trauma and neurodiversity, though I also love to work with many other issues. I'm very guided by the client, and their individual needs, strengths, and preferences. I usually start very non-directive and allow clients space to explore their issues and build trust, then we can start bringing in some more challenge, psychoeducation and practical tools

The approaches I use vary from client to client, and I like to collaborate with my clients to use the approaches that best suit them. I come from a person-centred background, which means I always offer genuineness, unconditional care, and empathy in all my practice. I also bring in a lot of theory around trauma and the its connect to our brain and body, and the impact of sociological issues.
