I started seeing Dr. Isles this summer and just like any doctor or person build a connect first; be honest, open and vulnerable she is there to help and does not judge. Sessions are helpful especially during the pandemic and if you cannot go into the office there is a phone call option which is nice. The receptionists are helpful too.

Katherine Isles is usually late and always c cuts sessions short. She has NOT helped me at all. I leave her office feeling worse about my life situation. She gives NO advice. She gives FEW comments and when she does, her comments are unsupportive, negative, condescending, sarcastic and/or not helpful. She has never been sympathetic/empathetic. During our sessions, she was not interested in anything I said (demonstrated by her yawning) and she would be busy doing personal business (opening her mail and paying bills) or checking her cell phone. She provides no advice and has no compassion. If you need someone to talk to, do yourself a favour and find someone else. Clearly, she should not be conducting any kind of counselling. Education and degrees mean nothing when you do not help the people who come to you. The Receptionists are rude and a little arrogant!

Dr. Isles provides good insight into problems and is an advocate of "talk" therapy and is willing to help anyway she can!

She was okay. Aloof, not the most empathetic and sometimes cuts sessions short or starts them late. She seems to be there for the money.

I am very relieved to read some of the comments on this site and to find out that I am not the only patient who feels more depressed/a higher level of anxiety following sessions with Dr. Isles. On multiple occasions, I have experienced severe panic attacks during my (45 min) drive home from a session and have had to seek support from a crisis line. Although I have always treated her with respect, it is evident that she does not like me, for some reason, from the way that she conducts herself during my sessions. She provides no advice, lack of compassion, lack of interest in what I am saying as evidenced by her yawning, completing "other work" and checking text messages during my sessions. I would recommend seeking therapy elsewhere.

Im shocked at the good reviews. I got the side of her with bad reviews, infact the GPs at my doctors office has had too many complaints from others that they are no longer referring anyone to Aberfoyle. It took me so long to see her and after a few visits with her, she made me worse then what I was there for intitally. The receptionists are very nice, and I see her treat them very coldly as well. I am very dissappointed I was not rude to her nor at all, despite her yawning alot, and clearly showing her disinterest in me. She is very fortunate that I am the kind of person who treats others like they would like to be treated, because if I treated her the way she treated me with yawning and continuos negative comments, she would of not appreciated it either. Shame on you Katherine Isles!!!!!! If I could base the stars on the reception it would all be great but these are based on you.

Dr. Isles was very knowledgeable and helped me with my depression and made me see the light at tend of the tunnel. I recommend Dr. Isles as she is a great therapist.

An excellent therapist. Very knowledgeable professional who deeply cares for her patients and provides them with the care they need and deserve. I am suprised by the negative and vulgar comments of some claiming to be her patients. This lady deserves a lot more respect.
