About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor who uses relational and integrative approaches to help people when life feels overwhelming. She draws on 22 years of practice in the United Kingdom and speaks both English and French. Isabelle aims to make the first contact less daunting and supports clients through early steps in therapy.
She has worked in multicultural National Health settings and in independent practice. Over two decades she has offered care to people referred by GPs and to those seeking personal support.
Background and approach
Her experience covers common problems such as stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence, along with relationship and parenting concerns. Isabelle focuses on practical conversations in the therapy room. She listens for how attachment, emotions and life meaning shape what is happening now.
Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, ways of coping with grief or loss, and strategies to manage sleep, motivation and addictive behaviours. The counselling style is warm and client-centred. Isabelle encourages people to name what matters to them and to set small, manageable goals.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are used alongside solution-focused steps to build day-to-day routines that feel doable. Isabelle works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, body image and eating-related issues, family problems, ageing and caregiver stress. Her background includes supporting people through divorce, bereavement and major life changes.
She invites people to take the next step when they are ready.

How Isabelle works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. In an online context this approach means the counsellor follows the client's lead and helps them make sense of what matters most right now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Isabelle will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you want to address, and then suggest which approaches to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that the same therapeutic methods used in person can be adapted effectively to remote sessions with a registered or accredited professional.
