Isabelle Dubois , BACP

Isabelle Dubois is a relational integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with 22 years of clinical experience. She built her practice working within a multicultural National Health setting where she provided counselling for GP-referred clients presenting a range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, motivation issues, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, confidence challenges, and depression. She also maintains a private practice alongside her work in public services.

Holding BACP credentials - an affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Isabelle draws on an integrative relational approach to create a calm, relaxed space for exploration. She aims to make it possible for thoughts and feelings to be shared without judgement and for people to explore practical ways to find hope and move forward. Isabelle frames therapy as a collaborative process, working together to identify steps that support healthier relationships with oneself and others.

She recognises that beginning therapy requires courage and regards that first step as significant. Isabelle approaches each person with respect and warmth, committed to helping them build resources and strategies that support meaningful change and a clearer path ahead.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Isabelle draws from attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection needs, attachment wounds, and how those dynamics influence stress, relationship difficulties, and feelings of abandonment.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and shift emotional responses in relationships. EFT focuses on accessing and expressing core emotions so couples or individuals can build stronger, more secure bonds and reduce cycles of conflict and withdrawal.

Client-centered therapy is another key element of her practice, offering a respectful, non-directive space where a therapist listens deeply and supports each person to discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; Isabelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access therapy from home or during busy periods, helping people stay consistent with care while fitting work, family, and other commitments into their lives.
