About Isabella Barrand
Isabella Barrand is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She works with a wide range of concerns including family issues, self-esteem, career pressures, anger, compassion fatigue, and specific areas such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, addiction, and domestic violence. Isabella also has experience addressing LGBT-related issues and complex presentations involving co-morbidity and dissociation.
She practices from a strengths-based stance, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries resources that can help them move through difficult times. Her role is to support and empower clients as they explore emotions and make changes, offering a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship. Isabella holds BACP credentials - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is based in the United Kingdom.
Isabella has substantial experience working with live messaging sessions and has previously offered morning and afternoon appointment options rather than evenings. She does not currently accept new clients and does not work with international clients, but her background reflects a practice focused on adaptable, client-centered care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Isabella draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work to offer different ways of understanding and addressing distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy, and relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the pace of exploration and change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Isabella works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods rather than applying a single model rigidly, so clients can experiment and adjust the approach over time.
Online therapy with Isabella can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and communication preferences. These options make it easier to attend sessions from varied locations and to integrate therapy into busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care with a registered therapist.
