Annette Isibor helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, issues with self-esteem, addictions, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Her work includes practical help for sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and bipolar-related challenges.

Annette uses familiar, straightforward approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ideas to shape conversations. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs in the moment.

Background and approach

She has 21 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. That background informs a calm, steady style and a focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Annette adapts her way of working to each person’s situation.

In practice she listens for the story behind the presenting issue. She works on coping strategies, thinking patterns and emotional responses. When helpful she also explores attachment concerns and how past relationships affect current ones.

People can expect practical tools alongside space to talk. Annette pays attention to daily habits such as sleep, eating and routines, and to patterns in relationships and communication. Her aim is to help people identify small changes that make everyday life easier.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. The focus is on steady progress over time, with plans adjusted as goals change.

Approaches to online therapy and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It helps people make values-based choices and take small actions that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and strategies to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines, such as sleep and eating habits.

Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help with intimacy problems, communication difficulties and attachment issues that show up in adult relationships.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Over several sessions the plan can be adjusted so the work stays relevant to what you want to change.

Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work and family life. Video calls let you use body language and facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and short text or chat messages suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to help people keep progress on track.
