Hello! I’m Isabella

Counsellor MBACP

I’m Isabella, an autistic counsellor offering a safe, compassionate space for neurodivergent adults to explore, heal, and thrive. Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating a world that doesn’t always understand you. You might be managing anxiety, depression, or burnout, feeling like you’re just surviving day to day. I understand because I’ve been there, too.
At Heart and Mind Therapies, my approach is different. Here, you won’t find one-size-fits-all solutions or rigid frameworks. Instead, I offer tailored, flexible therapy that adapts to your unique needs and celebrates your individuality. Together, we’ll work to dismantle harmful narratives, reconnect with your authentic self, and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

If you’ve felt let down by therapy in the past, I want to assure you that it doesn’t have to be that way. At Heart and Mind Therapies, you’ll find a space that feels different—a space built on understanding, empathy, and genuine care.

Whether you’re looking to better understand yourself, manage life’s challenges, or simply feel more at ease, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone.

You deserve to thrive, not just survive.

About Me

Welcome to my counselling space, where empathy and understanding intersect with a celebration of individuality. Beyond the therapeutic realm, my passion for self-expression extends into the vibrant world of fashion. A confluence of creativity and healing, I find joy in making and designing clothes, viewing it as an art form that mirrors the diverse tapestry of human experiences. When not immersed in the realm of counselling or fashion, you’ll likely find me glamping or in the company of feline friends, as my love for cats adds a touch of warmth and playfulness to both my personal and professional life. Join me on this transformative journey, where authenticity, style, and connection unite.

My Story

“I sought counselling with Isabella because I was feeling really overwhelmed and was wondering whether I could be autistic. I wasn’t optimistic that counselling would help me, having undertaken quite a lot of it in the past and not found it helpful, but counselling with Isabella has been a completely different and validating experience. I was, initially, very anxious before and during our sessions, but Isabella is empathetic, non-judgmental, and supportive, and has made it safe for me to talk about things that I haven’t been able to talk about before. I, also, really appreciate Isabella’s genuinely collaborative and honest approach to sessions. I have now started exploring who I authentically am, and I am more able to share this with other people. Rather than believing that there is something fundamentally wrong with me, I am beginning to actually quite like myself. This experience of counselling has been liberating, and I am far more hopeful and excited about life.”

“I have found my sessions with Isabella exciting, interesting, revealing, and even transformative. She creates a space that allows for silence and reflection as well as my ramblings with zero judgment and full support. Though these traits are somewhat obvious for a counsellor to possess, it’s easier sought for than found. I’m grateful to Isabella for our time together and only wish I could afford to see her more than twice a month! And that isn’t to say that she’s expensive. On the contrary, she is very fairly priced, another thing difficult to find. I always look forward to my brief time with her, and as we dig deeper, I am really starting to see who I’ve been hiding inside myself all my life.”

“I was struggling to make sense of my life, both personally and professionally, due to a number of factors that all seemed to collide at the same time. Although I had close family around to provide their advice, I really felt I needed an opportunity to speak with someone new and impartial about the areas causing me a lot of concern and distress. This led me to seek counseling with Isabella at Heart and Mind Therapies. I always find it difficult to meet someone new and open up about what is going on in my mind, but Isabella provided a compassionate and safe space for me to do so. During my online sessions, I felt seen, heard, and listened to throughout. It was also incredibly empowering to speak with someone who understood my neurodivergent brain; someone who could relate to my own life experiences, which is something I do not get in my day-to-day life. Thank you, Isabella, for giving me your time and space to work through my experiences.”
