Isabella Barrand
I'm a highly skilled counsellor working with empathy, openness and championing your wellbeing
It's lovely to meet you, things might be difficult right now but I'd like to support you through it. Before I was a counsellor I was a client, and have felt first hand the nervousness of approaching someone for help when my thoughts, emotions or circumstances have been overwhelming. To be searching for a counsellor in the first place is an enormous step, you're on the right track, keep being courageous...

About me and my practice
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you. It takes courage to explore our emotions and minds, I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
I offer a free 30 minute intro call, it is important that you feel you can develop a relationship with your counsellor and this is a good way for us both to test the water. I'll ask you a little about why you are seeking counselling support, what your expectations are for your counselling experience and whether you've used counselling before. You'll have an opportunity to ask me questions about my practice, and who I am as a counsellor. Before we start the sessions you will need to complete a counselling contract and provide emergency contact details, I will explain this in more detail in our intro call.
I am able to provide invoices for clients who are expensing through their employer.
Experience
As a counsellor, I have supported clients in a range of settings, including the NHS, education, corporate and private practice. These clients came to me with varying issues and experiences, some of which were stress and anxiety, addiction, identity, baby/child loss, lack of motivation, burnout, LGBTQ+ related issues, intimacy and relationship issues, coping with grief and loss and depression. You might not yet be able to name what you're experiencing, you just might know that you don't feel yourself and that is as valid a reason to come to counselling.
