About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor with 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. Isabelle also supports those coping with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns and grief.
Isabelle trained and practised in multicultural NHS settings and in private practice. She has long experience seeing GP-referred clients with mixed difficulties and people who need help getting through big life changes. Her background means she is used to straightforward, everyday worries as well as more complex emotional problems.
Her way of working is relational and client-centred. Isabelle aims to create a relaxed space where feelings and thoughts can be talked about without judgement. She looks for what matters most to each person and uses that as a starting point for change.
Therapy with her often involves noticing patterns in relationships and attachment, and bringing attention to emotions in the moment. She can use mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with coping and practical steps. Isabelle also draws on existential ideas when people face questions about meaning and direction.
She works in English and French and is comfortable helping people who want to address codependency, communication problems, parenting strain, sleep difficulties and caregiver stress. To begin, people follow the site's guidance to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Isabelle uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to help people notice patterns in relationships and in how they respond to strong feelings. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, and it can help with codependency and commitment worries. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and stay with emotions in the room so they can understand triggers and make different choices.She also uses client-centred principles, which mean sessions are led by what matters to the person. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and she will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets people choose quieter or more convenient surroundings, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
