Annette Isibor, BACP

Annette Isibor is a United Kingdom based therapist with 21 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with issues such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, family and parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and bipolar mood challenges, as well as many related areas of concern.

She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Annette draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) so she can tailor methods to the needs of each person.

Her style is warm, respectful, and sensitive, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique history and goals. Annette works collaboratively to identify practical strategies and deeper patterns that influence wellbeing, helping clients build confidence, find motivation, and navigate change. She accepts international clients and offers flexible ways to meet, making it easier for people to begin and continue therapy from wherever they are.

Annette recognises that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to provide steady support from the very first step.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and when someone wants to create meaningful change despite uncomfortable emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships and how early bonds shape current ways of relating. It can help with trust, intimacy-related issues, relationship conflict, and feelings of abandonment by exploring and reshaping those attachment patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is often applied to stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties to create clearer coping plans and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Annette works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and access a registered professional when it suits the client.
