About Annette
BACP. 21 years' experience. Annette Isibor works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports clients dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleep or eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and bipolar challenges.
Annette uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment-based work and client-centred counselling. She can also draw on emotionally-focused ideas and acceptance and commitment therapy when relevant. In practice this means she adapts how she talks and plans sessions to fit each person’s situation.
Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult problems easier to look at. She helps people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour, try different ways of responding, and manage strong feelings that come from past hurts or current stresses. Work can include practical coping strategies as well as talking about relationships and past experience.
Annette’s background includes two decades of work with a range of concerns. She describes her style as responsive and respectful, adjusting the mix of methods as the work develops. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques and their purpose during sessions.
She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts counselling in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, clients follow the site process to choose a counselling option and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches work for remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical tools to change problem patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods to try based on symptoms, goals and personal preference. Changes are reviewed as counselling progresses so the plan can be adjusted collaboratively.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, shorten travel time and offer a steady way to keep appointments during busy weeks. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or for when less bandwidth is needed, so check what is offered and which will suit your day-to-day routine.
