Isabelle Dubois works primarily through relational and emotion-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor with 22 years of experience in the United Kingdom. Isabelle speaks English and French and aims to offer calm, straightforward support for everyday struggles.

Isabelle has a long background in the NHS where she supported GP-referred clients with a mix of concerns. Her experience covers trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems and parenting strain, as well as issues around self-esteem and body image.

Background and approach

She also runs a independent practice alongside this work. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and reflecting what she hears. She helps people name their feelings and notice patterns that get in the way.

Together they explore practical steps and new ways of relating to others and to themselves. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods, plus client-centred and mindfulness work to suit different needs. Isabelle aims to keep sessions down to earth and relevant to what is happening now in a person’s life.

She supports people through life changes, career worries, family problems and separation. People meet her to talk about commitment and communication problems, caregiver stress, forgiveness and the sense of emptiness that can follow loss. Isabelle tries to make starting therapy feel manageable, and she helps people build skills they can use between sessions.

How Isabelle's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; it helps when trust, closeness or commitment feel difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and shifting emotional responses in relationships so people feel more connected and understood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session, offering non-directive listening and reflection to help thoughts and feelings become clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Isabelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client agree on what to try and review progress over time.

Online formats make these approaches accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when less bandwidth is available or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer not to use a camera and are useful for ongoing support between longer sessions. These choices give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
