About Isabelle
Counsellor Isabelle Dubois is a BACP member with 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression, among other concerns. Isabelle offers help for common life pressures such as grief, sleeping problems, parenting worries and career change.
She trained as a relational integrative counsellor and has a long history of working with GP-referred clients in multicultural NHS settings. That background means she is used to practical, short-term help and longer conversations when needed. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and feelings, and uses that understanding to guide the work.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working and emotionally-focused therapy. She also weaves in existential and mindfulness methods when they fit the issue. These methods are used to look at how relationships, values and present feelings affect day-to-day coping.
Isabelle helps people talk through what feels stuck and practises ways to manage strong emotions. She supports people dealing with abandonment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and difficulties after separation. She also works with eating and addiction issues and problems linked to ageing.
Sessions are conducted in English and French. International clients are not accepted. Isabelle uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps with problems rooted in connection, such as abandonment, trust and relationship conflict. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without directing and helps people find their own solutions to problems like low self esteem and life change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Isabelle will discuss different methods with each person and agree what to try first. That choice is made together, based on the presenting issues, goals and what the person prefers.
