Izzy Way Humanistic Psychotherapist Highbury London N5Izzy Way:

Humanistic Psychotherapist (BACP)

Welcome. I’m Izzy, a humanistic psychotherapist who believes lasting change starts when you feel truly understood.

There are many reasons why you might be seeking therapy. You may be feeling uneasy, disconnected, sad, anxious, or angry. Perhaps you’re going through a major life transition or are struggling to make a change. Maybe you feel lost, or have an “off” feeling you can’t quite name.

In therapy with me, you’ll find a calm, confidential space where you can speak freely without fear of judgement, and we can explore what’s happening – your feelings, thoughts and beliefs – together.

I can help you untangle the patterns that keep you stuck, so you can deepen self-awareness, explore new ways of being, and create a life that feels authentic to you.

 

How I work:
I am a client-led and collaborative therapist. I believe you are the expert in your story, and my role is to walk beside you, offering curiosity and compassion. I will adapt each session to what you bring – working in the here and now – always led by you and your goals. We’ll have regular check-ins on our work together, and if something doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust.

I work with a range of different tools and techniques from the Humanistic modalities, including Person-Centred, Gestalt, Formative Psychology, Transactional Analysis and Art Therapy. I work with individuals for both short-term and open-ended therapy. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative, and I welcome all genders and sexualities.

 

Fees:
Sessions with me cost £80, and last for 50 minutes.
I offer some concession/low-cost places, which are reviewed regularly. Please email me for more information.

 

Getting Started:
Choosing the right therapist is important, so I invite you to an initial session to see if we’re a good fit. Our first session will be an opportunity for you to share what has brought you to therapy, get to know each other, and explore how we might work together.

You can get in touch with me via my email below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.
