About Isabel
Isabel Stock is a BACP-registered therapist in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She offers person-centred care and draws on cognitive behavioural skills when useful. Isabel works with people facing trauma, eating and body image concerns, depression and ADHD-related challenges.
She has direct experience supporting people affected by physical, sexual or domestic violence. Isabel is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and identifies as plus-size, so she often supports people dealing with fat-related trauma and eating difficulties across body sizes. She also provides a space for people to talk about gender and sexual identity without judgement.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy ideas when there has been abuse or violence, pairing careful pacing with practical strategies. Isabel adapts sessions to the issues brought in, whether that is mood, identity, or neurodivergent experiences.
People with depression, anxiety and neurodivergent traits often come to her for steady, straightforward support. She pays attention to how life circumstances - caregiving, chronic illness, ageing or relationship changes - affect mood and choices. Conversations tend to be concrete and focused on what a person wants to change.
Sessions aim to help someone reconnect with their own priorities and learn clearer ways to communicate and set limits. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to agree goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and deciding priorities together. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify goals. This approach can help with issues like low mood, people-pleasing and uncertainty about identity.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of past harm and building manageable ways to cope. It uses careful pacing and practical techniques to reduce distress and support day-to-day functioning. This approach is used when someone brings experiences of physical, sexual or domestic violence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Isabel will discuss options with the client and agree on what feels most useful. That choice is collaborative and may shift as needs and goals change.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by making it easier to attend between commitments or by allowing a shorter check-in when time is tight. Talk with Isabel during the first meeting about how to structure sessions to suit practical needs and communication preferences.
