Isobel Cheshire

I can offer sessions for your relationship wellbeing and specialise in connection and communication.

I'm an accredited clinical counsellor and I work in private practice with a focus on relationships, relational trauma and connection.

Our sessions can help with any struggles, including the ones we have with ourselves and with others. These might involve; trauma, the pain of separation, conflict, loss, attachment, trust battles and injury, abuse, amongst many layers.

All our existence is relational. We get our sense of self through our relationships and how we interact with others and sometimes things go wrong.

My expertise offers support for communication and relational difficulties, along with other individual needs including; conflict, working through trauma, patterns and cycles of shame, repairing trust and finding a way out of dilemma.

Everyone is welcome. In all forms of relationship(s).

Our work together can support you to build your own coping mechanisms and feelings of self-esteem. Many clients benefit from the work available for communication and connection.

Initial Assessments

You might come to the sessions experiencing a wide range of conflicting emotions.

An initial ongoing assessment session offers a chance to unravel these feelings and be sure what you’re looking for fits with my competencies and expertise.

In a first session, we simply talk through what has been happening recently. We can consider what has come before, in the past, what is happening now and/or how you’d like things to look in the future.

Our focus will be on how you’d like things to change.

We can contract our work with a clear vision of what will be most helpful to you, talk through what I can offer and what I will need from you in return. 

Please note that following assessment, in some instances it may be necessary to suggest a referral to alternative counselling support, as best practise.

Ongoing Relationship Sessions

To get the most from the work you do, I recommend regular sessions, at the same time each week, where possible. The time between sessions is as important, as the sessions themselves.

All the support I offer links with our relational issues. Relationships naturally impacts all parts of our lives. We can talk about anything, any subject, any worry.

This might involve the relationships you have with yourself, with colleagues, with family members, friends or our most intimate relationships.

I'll offer a route towards positive change. Building a safe therapeutic relationship, to help turn towards changing and processing what troubles you most.

The work taps into your own capabilities, your own inner resources, so sets you up towards sustaining and continuing the change going forward.

The sessions include an integrative form of counselling. This combines solution focused techniques with a person-centred approach and trauma therapy. This means our sessions will allow you to bring what you want, within the BACP ethical framework guidance.
