I'm Isabella Richards, and I'm not really one for small talk. I'd rather get into the stuff that actually matters to you, the things keeping you up at night, the feelings you've been pushing to one side, the situations you keep replaying in your head wondering if you could have handled them differently.
I work with people who are dealing with a lot of worry and overwhelm, whether that's a constant hum of unease that colours everything, or something sharper that hits at specific moments. I'm also drawn to supporting people who are carrying the weight of difficult past experiences, things that happened to them that still echo through their present, shaping how they see themselves and the world around them.
My style is pragmatic. I believe in giving you concrete things to work with, not just abstract insights. We'll set goals together that actually mean something to you, and I'll suggest exercises between our conversations that are designed to create real shifts in your day-to-day life. I pay close attention, and I'll tailor everything to what you specifically need rather than following a generic script.
If you've been through painful experiences that still have a grip on you, I want you to know that we can approach those carefully and at a pace that feels manageable. There's no pressure to dive into anything before you're ready. My job is to create a space where those conversations can happen safely, and to help you gradually loosen the hold those experiences have on your life.
Family tensions, trouble communicating with the people closest to you, career crossroads. I work with all of it. Often these things are connected in ways that only become clear once you start pulling at the threads, and that's some of the most rewarding work we can do together.
What I've found is that most people already have more strength and resourcefulness than they give themselves credit for. Sometimes you just need someone to help you see it, and to hand you the right tools at the right time. That's what I aim to do.
Drop me a message if you'd like to see whether we're a good fit. No commitment required, just a conversation.
