Isabella Gardner

Hi. I’m an existential psychotherapist based in Central London, offering sessions both online and in-person in London Bridge and Clerkenwell. My approach to therapy is relational and mindful, with an emphasis on exploring lived experience with compassion and curiosity. Therapy with me offers a space to pause, slow down, and breathe. Together, we begin to listen more closely to your experience and explore what's really going on for you. In the midst of uncertain and difficult times, this space can become a steady ground from which to reflect, feel, and begin to make sense of what’s happening. People often come to therapy because life feels heavy, overwhelming, or stuck. I provide a gentle, collaborative space to help you navigate: - Anxiety - Depression - Low self-worth - Trauma and dissociation - Sexual and/or relationship struggles - Family issues - Questions around identity and sexuality - Loss of meaning and purpose Our work together will be unique to you. Some sessions may involve exploring your thoughts and feelings. At other times, we might bring attention to how you experience emotions in your body, or to what’s happening between us in the room. This reflective process can bring new understanding to long-held patterns and behaviours, and help you reconnect with your own sense of meaning and purpose. Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or simply seeking space to reflect, therapy can be a place to meet yourself more fully, to breathe, feel, and begin to find a steadier sense of being in the world.
