ABOUT ISABELLA
Isabella Hugh I Integrative Psychotherapist I MA,MBACP, PGDip,PGCert
Founder, Integrative Psychotherapist, Somatic and EMDR Therapist in London
The weight of life's complexities, especially when layered with past traumas or the disorientation of navigating a new world, can feel incredibly isolating.
If you're grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or the unique challenges of adapting to a new country, know that you're not alone. I've walked paths of my own, and understand how deeply our past and present circumstances shape our inner landscape.
As a MBACP therapist based in London, I offer a holistic and trauma-informed therapy, integrating somatic and psychodynamic approaches, to help you reconnect with yourself. My own experiences living across continents have given me a deep appreciation for how external shifts, like cultural adjustments, can profoundly impact our emotional well-being. I work with adults up to the age of 50, including young professionals, and those across Europe and Scandinavia, both online and in person. I have also worked extensively with young people, and with individuals and couples navigating the complexities of loss and difficulty on their path to parenthood.From late 2025, I will also be offering EMDR for trauma processing.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing. It's about finding someone who creates a safe and supportive space to explore your challenges with empathy and understanding. My work is relational, combining evidence-based techniques with mind-body practices, creating a collaborative space for you to explore, heal, and cultivate a more authentic life. This includes bringing into the room those often-avoided emotions such as anger, hurt, jealousy, resentment, longing – allowing us to explore them with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.
Ultimately, I want to help you build a stronger connection with yourself, heal from past wounds, and discover a sense of belonging, wherever you are in the world. If you're looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of modern life and the importance of finding your own path, let's connect and see if we're the right fit.
