Annette Isibor , BACP

Annette Isibor is a UK-based therapist with 21 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She works with clients across a wide range of concerns and adapts her approach to the needs of each person she meets, combining evidence-informed practices with a compassionate, respectful stance.

Annette draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, and person-centred therapy to create practical and meaningful change. She uses the most relevant elements from these methods to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. Her practice emphasises listening carefully to each client and tailoring conversations and treatment plans to fit individual circumstances and goals.

Annette holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to therapy. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and supports clients step by step as they begin that process. Annette is accepting new clients and works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients who seek support.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Annette often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work alongside a person-centred way of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship experiences influence current bonds and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Person-centred care emphasises empathy and respect, creating space for clients to lead sessions and find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and emotional clarity.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic journey. Annette works collaboratively with each client to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Annette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or while travelling, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person sessions are not practical.
