About me

Thank you for looking at my profile. I'm Isobel and I love helping people to find out more about themselves and recognise their worth.

I know that understanding your struggles can be confusing and stressful, but I also know that there's hope. With the right support, I believe you can make sense of what's happening for you now and get back to feeling like yourself again.

I have experience of working with people from all walks of life who are struggling with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, childhood issues, work issues, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss, long-term health issues, anger, lack of purpose, not feeling understood, cultural conflicts, life-transition struggles and the effects of trauma. I have a particular interest in clients who have experienced childhood trauma and the impact of this on their nervous systems and their attachments to other people.

Therapeutic approach

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means that I can draw upon a range of different therapeutic approaches in order to support you as an individual. This can involve helping you to explore your own issues, history, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, values and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and confident in making your own choices. Sometimes people come to therapy looking for a quick fix, but really counselling offers a place for reflection and to make lasting changes.

You may not be used to sharing your experiences, thoughts and feelings with another person, and that could feel strange or even scary at first. You may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. We can navigate this process together at your own pace. I bring attentiveness and curiosity, but you don't need to share anything that you are not ready to share. My hope is that I can enable you to freely express yourself with the understanding of being accepted for who you are. You may have questions, and I encourage you to ask and share your feedback with me. Clients have commented that they find me warm, calm and approachable.

Breathwork

As well as being a Counsellor, I am also a qualified Breathwork Coach. Breathwork is a natural, simple and powerful tool that has the ability to transform your wellbeing. It has a direct impact on the nervous system and is extremely beneficial for people who suffer with the symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, sleep issues and chronic pain. I can integrate simple breathwork practices into counselling sessions, or I could provide a whole session or series of sessions focussing solely on breathwork. Please enquire if this is something that interests you.

Getting in touch

Choosing a counsellor can be a daunting task, as I found out when I was looking for the right person myself. It is important to find someone that you feel comfortable with, as together you will create a relationship built on trust and connection. If I sound like I could be a good fit for you, then please get in touch today.

In-person sessions are held at The Cornerstone in Wokingham, and I also offer online sessions for clients across Berkshire and surrounding areas.
