About Annette

Annette Isibor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 21 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and related concerns. She also supports clients with grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and intimacy-related issues.

Annette uses a mix of well-known counselling approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred methods to shape sessions. That means conversations can include practical strategies, attention to how early bonds affect current relationships, and a focus on the person’s own priorities.

Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments between sessions, and build clearer ways to respond to stress or difficult feelings. She can work through relationship tensions, questions about commitment, and issues tied to identity or body image.

Annette has experience supporting people who struggle with complex presentations such as dissociation, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and personality-related difficulties. She also helps those dealing with trauma, abandonment, caregiver stress and blended family issues.

People who choose her can expect straightforward talk about what is getting in the way and practical steps to test change. To begin, readers are advised to use the site’s matching flow to see online therapy options and book an initial session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that come from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as the work progresses.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during moves or changes in routine. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help sessions slot into everyday life rather than disrupt it.
