About Isabel

Isabel Stock is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She offers a warm and accepting space where people are welcome as they are. Isabel aims to help clients get closer to who they want to be through calm, attentive listening and practical conversation.

Isabel draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She uses Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach and also brings in Trauma-Focused Therapy strategies when needed. Sessions are gentle and paced to each person’s needs.

She has worked with people affected by physical, sexual, and domestic violence, and supports those processing fat related trauma and body image struggles. Isabel is part of the LGBTQ+ community and offers a space to talk about gender and sexuality without judgement.

Isabel has experience supporting people with depression, anxiety and neurodivergent experiences including those who identify as autistic. She also listens to concerns linked to eating, ADHD and attachment or relationship difficulties.

In sessions Isabel focuses on understanding what matters to the individual and helping them take manageable steps forward. The work is collaborative and paced so people can feel seen and heard while exploring change.

How Isabel's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflections that help someone make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a calm, accepting space to talk through identity, body image or relationship concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm is getting in the way of daily life. It involves gentle, structured ways to address traumatic memories and reduce their hold on present day functioning. This can help with responses after physical, sexual or domestic violence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Isabel will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the way she works to fit each person's needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what someone is ready for.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a flexible routine such as shorter check-ins or a daytime appointment. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, can work with clients to organise sessions that fit practical life demands while focusing on meaningful progress.
