About Isabelle

Isabelle Dubois works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression using relational, integrative approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 22 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She has worked extensively with GP-referred clients in multicultural NHS settings and in private practice. This has included people managing motivation and confidence problems, as well as those facing addictions, grief and major life changes. Isabelle uses a relational style that pays attention to attachment and emotions in close relationships.

Sessions focus on talking through current problems and practical ways to manage them. Isabelle draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect, and on emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. Mindfulness and solution-oriented techniques are used alongside existential themes when people face questions about meaning or life transitions.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people notice habits of thought and feeling, try small changes, and build clearer communication with others. Practical goals such as improved sleep, coping with parenting demands, or navigating separation are worked on step by step.

Isabelle offers therapy in English and French. She has long experience with a wide range of concerns including family problems, domestic violence, body image and caregiver stress. People who choose her can expect steady, practical support aimed at clearer decisions and better day-to-day coping.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people connect now; online sessions can be used to notice interaction styles and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflective conversation to help clients clarify what matters and make choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to strong feelings in relationships and helps people name and work through primary emotions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering audio-only meetings when video is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals often use online appointments to maintain continuity of care while adapting how they work to each person's needs.
