About Isabelle

Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through difficult life moments. She draws on 22 years of experience in the United Kingdom, working in multicultural NHS settings and in private practice. Isabelle creates a calm and non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and begin to find ways forward.

Her practice focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with relationship troubles, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and sleeping difficulties. Parents worried about parenting strain or people coping with career changes can bring practical concerns to sessions.

Isabelle integrates attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to help people name feelings and improve connection with others. Mindfulness and existential approaches are used as options to help people live with uncertainty and build small, manageable changes.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in English and French. Isabelle aims to work collaboratively, helping people set goals they find meaningful and realistic. Sessions are paced to each person, with time for reflection and practical steps when needed.

If you are unsure what to expect, Isabelle encourages a short initial conversation to see if her way of working fits your needs and preferences.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. Online sessions can mirror that approach by allowing people to speak at their own pace while the counsellor listens and reflects. This is helpful for stress, low mood and making sense of life changes.

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. In an online setting this can help people safely explore patterns that affect their close connections. Emotionally-focused ideas help name and work with strong feelings, which can improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences, and may adapt the balance of listening, emotion work and practical exercises over time.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work across different locations while keeping the same therapist and therapeutic plan.
