Annette Isibor, BACP

Annette Isibor helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties with addiction. She also supports those facing grief, intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating issues, parenting strain and anger. Annette is named up front so readers know who they would be working with.

She uses a mix of practical talking therapies to suit different needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps you can try between meetings. Annette aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful, and she adapts the pace to what each person needs.

With 21 years of experience, Annette has worked in a range of settings across the United Kingdom. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is shown as BACP. This background shapes a calm, steady way of working with complex issues.

Her methods draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-informed ideas and a client-centred style. That means she pays attention to how relationships matter, what thoughts keep problems going, and what you want from therapy. Practical tools may be blended with deeper conversation about life patterns.

Sessions are designed so people can bring in current worries and long-standing concerns. Annette focuses on helping people notice what matters, try manageable changes and build more useful ways of coping. She encourages realistic steps and honest conversation throughout therapy.

How Annette’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns shape distress and closeness, which can be useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns and some forms of trauma. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and can explore what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Annette will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what helps most in practice.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
