Isabella Ryder

I work in Pimlico, Battersea and online specialising in psychodynamic therapy. I offer both evening and daytime sessions.

This sort of therapy is based in the knowledge that none of us is fully aware of our patterns in behaviour, ways of thinking, and our emotional responses, and that with the help of a qualified therapist we can gain an insight into these patterns, greater understanding of who we are and bring about the change we want to see in our lives. It might be that you’ve been experiencing distressing mental states such as depressive or anxious thoughts, or perhaps you simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right and that something needs to change. In our weekly 50 minute sessions, we will talk about whatever is on your mind – how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, and we will explore these together, building up a picture of who you are. It is through exploring your mind with curiosity and care that we can begin to relieve your symptoms and move you towards how you would like to be in the world.

I am a qualified and experienced therapist, and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, but the most important thing about finding a therapist is finding someone who fits with you, and who you feel you could come to trust. If that sounds like something you’re interested in exploring please send me an email and I will set up an initial consultation, or you can read more on my website (see link above). I also offer a free introductory call to discuss what you are looking for. Please send me an email if that's something you would like to set up. I look forward to meeting you. 

I offer online sessions for members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are not able to access affirmative face-to-face therapy. 

My standard fee is £90 per session. However, I do offer a number of reduced- fee spaces based on your individual circumstances. Please let me know if you have any questions about fees as I am happy to discuss.
