Isabelle Dubois, BACP

Isabelle Dubois is a relational integrative therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively within a multicultural national health setting, providing counselling to GP-referred clients who present with a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, confidence issues, and depression.

Alongside her work in public health settings, she maintains a successful private practice where she draws on relational and integrative approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Isabelle holds BACP, indicating professional recognition in counselling and psychotherapy.

She aims to create an open, relaxed therapeutic space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Isabelle works collaboratively with clients to explore practical ways of finding hope and moving forward in life.

She recognises that starting therapy requires courage and expresses support for people taking that first step, looking forward to helping clients develop the skills and insight they need to help themselves.

Applying therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Isabelle integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and relational patterns; it can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a compassionate, accepting therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, confidence, and personal insight. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and transforming emotional responses within close relationships, which can be especially helpful for couples and individuals whose difficulties centre on attachment and emotional expression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work they do together. Isabelle will collaborate with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations. Isabelle uses these formats to provide consistent, accessible support while tailoring session style to what works best for each person.
