Annette Isibor , BACP

Annette Isibor is a United Kingdom based therapist with 21 years of professional experience and a BACP credential (BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers experienced support for people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence concerns, depression, addictions, family and parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, anger, and bipolar-related challenges among other struggles.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic work, and person-centred therapy, allowing her to select the methods best suited to each person’s situation. This flexible approach enables focused work on thought patterns, deeper relational and historical themes, and a supportive, client-led space for exploring strengths and goals.

Annette brings sensitivity, respect, and compassion to her clinical work and tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s unique needs. She aims to create a collaborative environment where practical strategies and personal insight come together to address presenting concerns. Taking the first step can feel challenging, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy while offering steady professional support throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Annette works with several evidence-informed approaches that she adapts to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to build practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and interpersonal patterns, helping people address recurring relationship difficulties and deep-seated fears of abandonment or disconnection. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions, supporting self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Annette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques as work progresses to ensure the approach remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver many core therapeutic tasks and to tailor sessions to individual needs.
