About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 22 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. Isabelle also supports people facing grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career changes and the challenges of codependency.
She trained and practised in multicultural NHS settings, taking referrals from GPs for people with multiple, overlapping concerns. In addition to NHS work, she has run a private practice where she continues to see adults with a range of emotional and relational difficulties. Isabelle draws on decades of direct client work when planning sessions.
In session she uses relational approaches that focus on attachment and emotional patterns between people. She also uses client-centred methods that pay attention to what each person finds important, and emotionally-focused techniques to look at feelings within relationships. These approaches are applied in everyday language rather than jargon.
Isabelle aims to explore practical steps alongside reflective work. That might mean noticing how patterns show up in day-to-day life, practising clearer ways to ask for needs, or working slowly through past painful events. Sessions can include mindfulness-based ideas and short solution-focused exercises to help with immediate coping.
She works in English and French. To get started clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
For people who keep prioritising others at their own cost, Isabelle focuses on helping them recognise patterns and try different ways of relating that suit their life and values.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Isabelle commonly draws on attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and how early connections influence current relationships; it can help when someone keeps over-prioritising others or struggles with trust. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on recognising and naming feelings within relationships, and on changing interaction patterns that leave someone feeling overwhelmed or isolated.She also uses client-centred methods that foreground what the client wants to address, offering a steady, person-led way of working. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and she will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
The practical benefits of online sessions often include easier scheduling around work and family, and the ability to have shorter check-ins when life is busy. Session options should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists frequently use online meetings to help people fit therapy into their day without needing travel, while still allowing time for reflective work and practical skill-building.
