Isobel Gardner Psychology
London & Online Internationally
Welcome
Isobel Gardner Psychology is an independent practice offering confidential, evidence-based and neuro-effective psychological therapy for individuals and couples. Sessions are available in person in London’s Harley Street district, online internationally, or in a flexible hybrid format.
Isobel Gardner is a UK-licensed Clinical and Counselling Psychologist, a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, USA. Her approach is warm, person-centred and non-judgemental, combining contemporary neuroscience and depth psychotherapy with Buddhist psychology, ancient, time-tested contemplative practices, systems thinking and practical mindfulness-based coaching.
She works particularly with high-functioning professionals in finance, technology, law, leadership, media and the creative industries, as well as partners and family members affected by the pressures of demanding careers. The work may focus on problems or transitions at work or in private life, helping clients think more clearly under pressure, communicate more effectively, and find a constructive way forward.
Areas of focus include:
- Stress, anxiety, burnout and difficulty switching off
- Relationships, communication and couples difficulties
- Leadership, workplace conflict and difficult decisions
- The effects of demanding careers on partners and families
- International and expatriate life
- Difficult past experiences and concerns about the future
- Creative blocks and professional challenges
Confidentiality and professional discretion are central to the practice. Private concerns, including an increasing reliance on alcohol or other substances, gambling or other compulsive behaviours, can also be addressed discreetly and without judgement as part of the wider work.
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist and psychologist, Isobel worked in the international film and media industry in Los Angeles and across Europe while raising three children. This experience informs her understanding of ambitious careers, relationships, family demands and creative lives.
Sessions are available in English and Swedish.
If a personal, professional or relationship problem has become difficult to resolve, help is available. You are welcome to get in touch to enquire about a session:
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.
