Isobel Kennedy

I offer online and telephone daytime and early evening sessions on weekdays 

You might be navigating change, experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low mood or high stress, all of which can take an emotional and physical demand on you. I bring a calm, curious presence to our work together, as we gently explore and unpack what deserves attention. 

I am an Integrative and relational therapist.

I will meet you wherever you are, gently holding what arises with curiosity and kindness. I work with your present experience, your thoughts, emotions and relationships, while holding in mind how earlier life experiences may continue to shape your responses today.

We will work together to explore your thoughts, sensations and emotional responses. Noticing stories and patterns as they arise. Not denying, dismissing, or discarding them, but looking at them in a different way. 

Through my work, I have found that people seek therapy for various reasons; all are equally valid and important. Together, we'll explore how you want things to be different and create jointly agreed goals to guide your progress toward positive change.

I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of different presentations. You might find it helpful in identifying what kind of support you are seeking.

Areas I work with include:

Anxiety

Feelings of overwhelm

Depression and hopelessness

Low self-esteem

Difficulties in Relationships (this is often with family, friends or partners)

Societal pressures

ADHD-related overwhelm

Grief and loss

The impact of abuse and trauma

Health-conditions

Work-related issues

Faith, spirituality and religious experiences

Culture, identity, belonging, and oppression

I approach my practice from an anti-oppressive position, recognising structural and systemic inequalities, while considering socio-political factors that affect mental health, both inside and outside of the therapy room.

I work within diversity across age, race, background, faith, gender, sexuality, and relationship styles.

I am fully insured, ICO-registered, and supervised. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

If then you feel interested in working together, we will arrange your first session.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to meet one another, to explore your therapy needs and how we can work together. This time is for you to bring what might be coming up for you; we will go at your pace and look at potential therapy goals.
