About me and my therapy practice

Shaz Isaac

www.healingrivertherapy.com

Hello, I’m Shaz,  a specialist therapist and coach working with neurodivergent adults, particularly those navigating ADHD, autism, or late diagnosis. My approach combines Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic trauma therapy, breathwork, and ADHD-informed coaching to support people who've often felt too much, not enough, or simply like traditional therapy hasn't quite fitted them.

This isn't just talking therapy. I work with the whole person, mind, body, and nervous system, because real change lives in the body as much as in the words we find for it.

If you've spent years masking, burning out, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this is a space where all of that is understood, not pathologised.

I work online UK-wide and in person in Loughton, Essex. ÌÇÐĹÙÍø registered, IFS Level 1 trained (Level 2 in progress), ILM Level 5 Coaching qualified, Breathwork Coach.


Practice description

Therapy with me is about slowing down, feeling safe, and making sense of what’s happening inside. My approach is being  compassionate, body-aware, and collaborative drawing on Somatic Trauma, sensorimotor psychotherapy skills, EMDR skills, rewind technique, the flash technique, EFT and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Breathwork to support lasting change.

I offer a neurodivergent-affirming space where all ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world are welcomed. As a neurodivergent therapist my practice is neuro-inclusive, recognising that every nervous system works differently and that safety looks different for everyone. 

You don’t need to know where to start — we begin with where you are. Together we explore the parts of you that may feel protective, overwhelmed, or shut down, helping them find understanding and calm. Therapy is real and honest: I check in often, welcome feedback, and work at your pace so it feels safe and grounded.

I currently offer weekly online therapy for adults across the UK. Sessions are 50 minutes and can be booked individually or in blocks of six or twelve after an initial consultation. This structure offers continuity while keeping flexibility to pause or continue.

Therapy is an investment in yourself. I keep pricing transparent and offer payment plans for block bookings to make support accessible and sustainable.


My first session

Initially - if you have any questions -  I am happy to answer them via a free introductory phone call - approx 15-20 mins or email. 


Your first session - is a reduced rate ; it is a gentle introduction  a chance to get to know each other and see if it feels like the right fit. You’re welcome to share what’s been happening and what you hope for, but there’s no pressure to go into everything straight away. We’ll move at your pace.

Feeling safe and connected is the foundation of the work. I encourage openness about how sessions feel, and I’ll check in regularly so therapy remains collaborative and supportive.

If you choose to continue, I offer weekly sessions with simple online payment links and the option to book in blocks of six or twelve. This creates structure and focus while keeping flexibility to pause, review, or continue.

Therapy is both a personal and financial investment. I keep pricing transparent, with the option to spread payments across a block if needed.

The first session is simply about connection  because when therapy feels safe and real, meaningful change can begin.
