About

Isabel dos Santos Counselling Services in Worcester offers professional, compassionate, and practical therapeutic support to individuals experiencing emotional distress or life challenges. With years of experience working in Primary Care (NHS) and charitable organisations, I provide a safe and confidential space where clients can begin to explore and understand their emotional and mental wellbeing.

My name is Isabel dos Santos. I am an experienced and qualified counsellor who has worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. My therapeutic work addresses a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, and stress often triggered by pressures at work or home. I understand that these challenges can build up over time, creating a cycle of emotional distress that may seem difficult to break.

You may find yourself frequently putting others’ needs before your own, whether in personal relationships or in your professional life. This can lead to emotional exhaustion, confusion, guilt, or the feeling that you need to withdraw. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone—and there is a way forward.

Services

My approach is collaborative and solution-focused, drawing on a foundation of well-established therapeutic models including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – helping clients understand and manage thought patterns that influence behaviour and emotions.

• Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring how past experiences impact present behaviour and emotional health.

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) – particularly effective for trauma and deeply embedded emotional distress.

I specialise in brief, targeted therapy, often focusing on a specific issue that the client wishes to address. My aim is to create measurable goals and work alongside you to achieve real progress, while always respecting your pace and needs.

Sessions are suitable for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to make a change. You do not have to wait until life becomes unmanageable. Therapy can be a proactive and empowering step towards living with greater clarity, balance, and purpose.

Additional Information

Counselling is not only for those in crisis. It can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, growth, and building emotional resilience. You might feel like you are simply going through the motions of daily life without truly living. If that resonates with you, it might be time to invest in your wellbeing.

Imagine your future self, looking back on your life—what advice would they give you now? Choosing therapy is an act of courage and self-care. If you are ready to explore a different path, please get in touch to discuss how we can work together. All enquiries are treated with confidentiality and respect.
