Isabelle Dubois , BACP

Isabelle Dubois is a relational integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience working in multicultural National Health settings and in private practice. Over her career she has provided counselling for GP-referred clients presenting a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, confidence issues and depression. She blends relational and integrative perspectives to respond to the whole person and the complexity of their circumstances.

Isabelle aims to cultivate an open, relaxed space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment and explored collaboratively to find hope and practical ways forward. She draws on a relational stance to understand patterns that emerge in relationships and on integrative methods to tailor work to each person’s needs. Isabelle holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional practice standards.

Recognising that starting therapy requires courage, she acknowledges and validates that first step and seeks to support people in developing their own resources and pathways to change. Her approach is supportive, respectful and focused on helping people move toward clearer choices and improved coping in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Isabelle integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early and ongoing relationship patterns influence current emotions and behaviour - this approach is useful for addressing attachment issues, abandonment fears and difficulties forming close relationships. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses to improve connection and communication in relationships, often helping couples and individuals working with grief, trauma or relational distress. Additionally, Isabelle uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic space that helps people explore their own goals and build self-directed coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Isabelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to change.

Online therapy with Isabelle can be offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent support without travel, allowing people to engage in therapy from a setting that feels most manageable for them.
