Annette Isibor , BACP

Annette Isibor is a UK-based therapist with 21 years of professional experience and recognition from the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She brings long-standing clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar concerns, and a wide range of other emotional and interpersonal issues.

Her work draws on evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and attachment-based techniques. These methods allow her to tailor sessions to each person's needs, drawing on practical skills, exploration of relational patterns, and a focus on the client’s own goals and values. Annette adapts her therapeutic style to the problem at hand and integrates relevant strategies so that therapy is both focused and responsive.

Annette treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she customizes dialogue and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique situation. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can require courage and affirms clients for taking that step. Based in the United Kingdom, she is accepting new clients and works with international clients as well.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how it helps

Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work - this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own pace and priorities so that people feel heard and respected while they explore change. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine relational patterns and early attachments that influence current relationships, which can be useful for addressing intimacy issues, recurring relationship difficulties, and trauma-related relational concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Annette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made to keep therapy relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Annette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, help maintain continuity of care, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
