Isabelle Houart

I offer a safe space and aim to help you make sense of your difficult experiences, work with your thoughts and feelings and support you in getting a better understanding of who you are so that you can make positive changes in your life. 

Speaking to people you know like family or friends can be useful for many problems. Sometimes though you might want help and support from a professional with whatever difficult thoughts and feelings you are experiencing at the time. 

I am fluent in English, French, and Portuguese and bring a wealth of international and cultural experience having lived abroad until the age of 24. This enables me to offer a widened sense of perspective when supporting clients who often feel overwhelmed by life. 

My approach is one of empathic listening and acceptance of the person for who they are without any form of judgement. I bring genuine compassion and understanding to each session and at all times endeavour to see life through my clients' eyes.

In addition to my private practice, I have volunteered with two leading UK mental health charities. 

I have a BSc in Humanistic Counselling and am trained in a range of modalities (Gestalt, Person Centred and Transactional Analysis). 

I offer a private and tranquil space where I can see you face to face in Sheperd's Bush (close to Chiswick).

I also offer online therapy. If finding a therapist in your area is proving difficult, you have a busy schedule, or would simply prefer to speak with someone from the comfort of your own home, online therapy could be an option for you.

Sessions are weekly, short term or long term open ended. I work with adults and young adults.

I offer a free 30 minute introductory session online which will give you the opportunity to meet me and to get a sense of who I am. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what your needs are, what you expect and some of your background.
