Welcome

Isobel Gardner Psychology is an independent practice offering confidential psychological treatment for individuals and couples in London’s Harley Street district and online internationally.

Isobel Gardner is a Chartered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California, USA). Her work integrates contemporary neuroscience, depth-oriented psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients develop practical ways of regulating stress, navigating relationship difficulties, and managing the psychological demands of modern life. The focus is not only on understanding difficulties, but on building the capacity to respond differently — with the aim of helping clients feel more settled within themselves, think more clearly under pressure, relate more effectively to others, and engage with life with a greater sense of inner balance and well-being.

Many of Isobel’s clients are thoughtful, capable individuals who are accustomed to managing significant professional and personal responsibilities, yet find themselves facing periods where the usual strategies no longer seem sufficient.

She works with stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma, and relational difficulties, and has particular experience supporting professionals in high-performance environments — including finance, law, media, and the creative industries — as well as individuals living internationally or between cultures. Treatment may include EMDR alongside mindfulness-based and other established psychological approaches, selected according to individual need.

Areas of Focus:

In work with couples, the focus is on understanding entrenched interactional patterns and helping partners respond to one another with greater clarity, steadiness, and emotional intelligence, especially during periods of conflict, transition, or uncertainty.

Before qualifying as a psychologist, Isobel worked in the international film and media industry while raising three children. This experience continues to inform her understanding of the pressures of professional life, creative careers, family demands, and periods of identity transition.

Sessions are available in English and Swedish.

Client Reflections

I came to Isobel not expecting to find the right therapist straight away, but within the first few sessions I knew I had. She provided practical techniques early on that helped me manage stress and my fight-response symptoms. I feel better equipped to move forward.

Client, Los Angeles

As cliché as it sounds, Isobel has changed my life. I now feel free from things I never thought I would overcome. I have found self-worth, built healthier relationships and boundaries, and discovered practical ways to manage life when it throws unexpected challenges.

Client, London

Working with Isobel helped me regain perspective during an extremely demanding period in my professional life. Her ability to understand both the psychological and practical pressures I was under made the work deeply valuable.
