About Isabelle

Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor with 22 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by worry, low mood or relationship strain. Isabelle speaks English and French and aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible.

Isabelle has a long history of supporting people referred by general practitioners and those seen in independent practice.

Background and approach

She regularly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem and work-related pressures. She also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, addictions and major life changes. Her approach draws on attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas to notice how relationships shape feelings.

She uses client-centred listening and mindfulness to help people build awareness and practical coping tools. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday problems rather than labels. Isabelle often helps people who are dealing with family problems, communication difficulties, separation and forgiveness.

She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency and caregiver stress. Her long experience includes working with domestic violence, trauma and abuse in clinical settings. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Isabelle explains options clearly and helps people choose what fits their routine and comfort. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support

How Isabelle's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in current relationships and try new ways of responding during everyday interactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift painful emotional cycles in relationships and within themselves. In remote sessions this can mean practising new conversations and emotional responses with guidance from the counsellor.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without directing and helps the person find their own solutions. Isabelle will work collaboratively to choose which approach fits a person's needs and goals, adapting methods as progress is made.

Using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life. Video is useful for more emotionally rich conversations, phone calls are practical when bandwidth is limited, chat can be handy for short check-ins and messages suit people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their routine.
