About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor with 22 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and issues around self-esteem. Isabelle speaks English and French and combines practical support with a calm, non-judgemental manner.
She has a long background in multicultural NHS settings where she supported people referred by GPs for a range of concerns. That work included helping people with motivation, depression, grief, sleep problems and addiction-related worries.
Background and approach
Isabelle also runs a independent practice alongside this experience. Isabelle uses an integrative, relational approach. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
Conversations aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to find clearer ways of coping day to day. Her methods draw on attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused work and client-centred principles. She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people explore meaning, values and present moment coping.
Sessions tend to be direct, practical and rooted in everyday language. People can expect a warm and relaxed space to talk without fear of being judged. Isabelle encourages collaborative planning so that goals are realistic and relevant to each person’s life.
She helps people build on small changes that make a real difference over time.
Relational and practical therapy online
Isabelle often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to build safer ways of connecting.She also uses client-centred therapy which means sessions focus on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Isabelle will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods to try. She adjusts pace and tools to match what feels most useful for day-to-day life.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins and for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
