Isabelle Dubois , BACP

Isabelle Dubois is a relational integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience working in a multicultural national health setting. She has provided counselling to GP-referred clients presenting with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, relationship problems, confidence issues, and depression, and she also maintains a private practice. Isabelle brings a relational focus to her work, attending to how attachment, interpersonal patterns, and emotional experience shape current difficulties while drawing on integrative methods to tailor therapy to each person.

She strives to offer an open, relaxed environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment and collaboratively explore steps toward greater hope and practical ways forward. Isabelle emphasises working together with clients to identify strengths and small, achievable changes that support longer-term growth. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which recognises professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Isabelle is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches That Inform Online Work

Isabelle uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relational patterns influence emotions and behaviour - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment fears, and attachment issues by identifying and reshaping unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on meeting people with empathy, acceptance, and respect so clients can lead the pace and direction of change; this approach supports issues such as low self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions. Additionally, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help clients access and process core emotions, strengthen emotional bonds in relationships, and work through trauma-related emotional responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Isabelle works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the overall framework to the individual rather than applying a single fixed method.

Online therapy with Isabelle is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and practical circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere when in-person sessions are not possible.
