Hello, I'm Isabel Orioni
I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and supervisor and have been in practice since 2010. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I am also a registered member for Association for Family Therapy (AFT). I have a lot of experience working with adults, young people, families and as a clinical supervisor in schools. I run my private practice from Westbourne in Bournemouth offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which to work.
​
I start from the principle that counselling is all about you. It’s about your uniqueness as a person and your unique life story. Counselling is about change and moving forward.
