鈥� Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack, in everything. That's how the light gets in.鈥� Leonard Cohen

As an integrative psychotherapist who practises relationally, I believe the quality of our relationships, both past and present has a huge affect on our sense of self, our self-worth and our ability to manage powerful emotions and moods.   I have experience in working with clients who have experienced early relational trauma  and can help you to reflect on harmful  behaviour patterns,  to let go of unhelpful coping mechanisms and make better choices, and to consider what has happened to you rather than what is wrong with you.

Seeking therapy can be intimidating, you are probably feeling anxious, overwhelmed or a bit low. There are any number of reasons my clients come to therapy, perhaps you are facing relationship issues or one of life鈥檚 major stages; maybe you feel stuck, lonely or that you lack purpose; you may be confused about neurodivergence; or finding it hard to balance your work and family life. Perhaps you don鈥檛 really know what鈥檚 going on but just need someone to talk things through with.

Many of us are left feeling that there is something wrong with us that we should be able to manage problems on our own and beat ourselves up for not coping better,  I鈥檓 here to offer you an uncritical, non-judgemental and impartial relationship to process whatever is going on for you in an empathetic way.

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a range of modalities depending on your needs this includes considering how past experiences or relationship patterns are affecting you in the present; confronting existential themes of living, as well as developing practical strategies for managing distressing emotions. Therapy with me is collaborative and relational; the quality of our relationships impacts or wellbeing enormously, and I bring awareness to what is going on in the relationship between us into our therapy.

I offer one-to-one therapy for adults, in 50-minute sessions, face-to-face in Hackney or online.

Therapy can be open ended, or we can agree to a fixed shorter term.

I advise scheduling a free 30 minute video call to discuss what brings you the therapy, our suitability for working together, any questions you have of me, as well as availability/scheduling.

Get in touch by email Isabellazoltowski@gmail.com to book a (free) intro call/zoom, or instead to schedule a first (paid) 50-minute assessment session.
