Cambridge Couple Counselling

Do you want to change the way you interact with your partner?

Do you want to make your communication more positive and productive?

Do you have a specific issue that you can’t get around?

Cambridge Couple Counselling offers therapy that is balanced and impartial.

By supporting more positive communication I can help you and your partner come to your own decisions about how to improve your relationship and grow together.

How I work

I work in an integrative way. This basically means that I have a psychodynamic background (exploring how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind and impulses) but through experience and further training, I continue to draw on a range of different therapeutic models to support my work.

Background

I am a qualified couples therapist, registered with National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have a Post-Graduate Level 5 Couples Counselling 2 Year Certificate with RELATE in Relational Counselling – CPCAB Accredited.

I worked as a therapist for Relate Cambridge for 10 years and benefitted from their excellent Continuing Professional Development in eg Mental Health, Affair Recovery and Domestic Abuse Awareness.

Cambridge University MA graduate (MML, Clare 1992)

Specialist areas

Helping couples where there has been infertility or infant loss. I am a certified counsellor with the Foundation for Infant Loss.

I have worked extensively with couples where there is autism in one or both partners. It doesn't matter if you have an official diagnosis, I can help you improve your connection and communication.

Where are the sessions?

I offer face-to-face sessions in Central Cambridge and
at a discreet venue just north of Saffron Walden.

Both our locations have plenty of free parking.

Don't Delay

Don’t leave it too late - so many people I see report they wanted to come for couple counselling years ago but never quite got around to it. You don’t have to be in crisis to come to therapy, I can try to help you improve your relationship at any stage.

Taking the first step into therapy can be daunting which is why I offer a free 15 minute informal conversation so you can ask questions and get a feel if counselling is right for you.

Isabelle is amazing at what she does, as we both felt understood and supported.

“Through Isabelle’s wise words as she accompanied me on this short part of my life journey, I have been able to glimpse a new hope and future. Isabelle gently guided my thinking and challenged me, helping me realise this new direction for my life. I am particularly grateful that at no time did I feel judged for decisions I’ve made, or feelings I have, which has allowed me to speak with Isabelle in a completely open and honest way. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I do have hope as I move into the future, and this is in no small part thanks to Isabelle’s help and support.”
