About Annette
Counsellor and BACP member Annette Isibor has 21 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her practice also covers addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain and anger. Annette accepts international clients and works in English.
Annette uses a blend of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws from cognitive behavioural methods to look at thoughts and behaviours. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on how relationships and personal values shape current problems.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Annette listens to the difficulties people bring, checks what matters most to them, and then tries approaches that fit those aims. She will talk through coping steps, patterns to notice, and small changes to test between meetings.
Her background spans work across emotional distress, loss, and long-term mood difficulties. Over two decades she has supported people coping with trauma, grief, periods of low motivation and complex relationship issues. That experience shapes a steady, problem-solving style.
People consulting Annette can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. Her focus is on clear, usable tools and on understanding the role of relationships and personal values in day-to-day life. If you want practical conversation about what to try next, she may be a good person to speak with.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with panic, persistent worry and sleep disruption.Choosing an approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and review what helps. Changes are tested in day-to-day life and adjusted as needed rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video, or meetings from different locations when that helps someone manage time and energy. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical arrangements, and the therapist will discuss what suits a person's schedule and preferences during the first contact.
