Isobel Todd

Isobel’s work is trauma-informed and rooted in respect for people’s individuality. This includes valuing difference and diversity, an active commitment to anti-oppressive practice, and respect for the ways we might have found to manage our feelings and cope with our experiences
– including the sense we have made of them.

She also adapts her therapeutic approach to meet the needs of individual clients. This can include considering fixed-term or open-ended therapy, using a couch, or using a sandtray to work creatively, with or without words.

Isobel’s therapy practice is grounded in principles from relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. She believes relationships are very important, both in shaping us in childhood and in helping us to change later on, and that our unconscious minds often hold the key to living more fully and freely. At the core of her practice is a belief that real, lasting change can come through self-understanding, and that therapy has a great deal to do with helping us listen to ourselves.

Isobel has a background in arts journalism and is now also a highly experienced editor and clinical content producer in the therapy field, with a wide-ranging knowledge of therapeutic theories and the latest clinical approaches.
