Annette Isibor , BACP

Annette Isibor is a United Kingdom based therapist with 21 years of professional experience and a BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation, depression, addictions, family and parenting challenges, grief and intimacy-related issues, as well as problems with eating, sleeping, anger, and bipolar symptoms. Her additional focus includes attachment-related difficulties, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and care-giver stress.

Annette blends evidence-informed methods to suit each person she works with, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address both immediate symptoms and the interpersonal patterns that sustain them. She aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to an individual’s unique history, values, and goals, choosing the techniques that best fit the presenting concerns.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship, and encourages those who are ready to take the first step toward change. Annette is accepting new clients, including people located internationally, and offers flexible ways to engage in therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Practice

Annette works with several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports choosing actions that align with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be especially useful for relationship, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their experience at their own pace and build self-acceptance and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Annette collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow the therapeutic process to continue in a way that suits each person’s routine and comfort.
