Hello,

I'm Izzy,

I am a  Relational Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.  I offer face to face Sessions in Bridlington.

I have a Counselling Cabin in a wooded garden setting, which is well ventilated and heated.  This offers a confidential, private space that is close to nature.  I also offer counselling by video call, or telephone which is then available nationwide.

Get to Know Me

About Me

I am passionate about the natural world, and I draw inspiration from its colours, textures, and rhythms. Creativity and imagination are at the heart of who I am, and I bring these qualities into my work as a counsellor.

My Approach

I work relationally, offering a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. My aim is to walk alongside you with warmth, compassion, and understanding.

Experience

Over the years, I have worked with several national and local charities, supporting people through some of life’s most difficult challenges, including:

  • Bereavement and grief counselling

  • Feelings of despair, loneliness, and isolation

  • End of life care and family support

  • Dementia and the impact on loved ones

  • Coping with chronic pain and the challenges of aging

  • Couples Counselling

  • Encouraging belonging and community integration

Specialist Training

I have also undertaken specialist training in:

  • Baby loss counselling with the Infant Loss Foundation

  • EMDR therapy with EMDR Europe – a highly effective approach for trauma, grief, and anxiety

Areas of Particular Experience

I have worked extensively with a National Charity providing bereavement support, as well as with a National Mental Health Charity dedicated to reducing death by suicide. These experiences have given me deep insight into grief, loss, and the importance of connection.

My Philosophy

My counselling is enriched by a wealth of life experience and a deep curiosity about human relationships. I believe in the power of compassion, creativity, and human connection to bring healing and hope.

A safe place to talk.

What is Therapy or Counselling

A safe place to talk.

It is a place where you can start to explore your life.  Things that have made it difficult for you in the past, fears about the future, but also what is happening in your life now.  This could be a bereavement, job difficulties, bullying, loneliness, anger issues or relationship problems.

 

It's OK not to be OK.

Time to talk and be heard.

These days mental well being is much in the news.  We are still aware however there is still stigma around admitting we are feeling unwell.  The time is coming where we start to treat our minds with compassion as we would when we hurt our backs or strain a muscle. Talking to someone confidentially, can help.  Someone who does not judge you, or tell you that their problems are worse than yours.
