About Isabelle

Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor who uses relational and attachment-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She brings 22 years of experience working in multicultural NHS settings and in independent practice. Isabelle works in English and French and sees clients in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming - low mood, sleep difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, and difficulties with boundaries or codependency.

Background and approach

Isabelle also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction-related worries, career crossroads and the ache of abandonment or emptiness. In sessions she aims for a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can speak honestly about what is happening for them. Conversations look at patterns in relationships and feelings, and at practical steps to make small changes.

Isabelle listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the approach to suit that need. Her clinical work draws on attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused ways of working and client-centred listening, together with mindfulness and existential perspectives when those fit. These methods help with understanding emotional responses, improving communication and building a steadier sense of self.

Isabelle’s background in NHS referrals means she is used to supporting people with complex, overlapping difficulties. She encourages gentle pacing so work feels manageable, and she helps people identify day-to-day strategies alongside deeper therapeutic change.

Ways of working Isabelle names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How attachment and emotion-focused work translates online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions help people notice recurring patterns in close relationships and explore new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work with strong emotions. In remote sessions this can mean naming feelings, tracking body sensations and practising new responses to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps match the tools to what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and use screen-sharing for materials. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need contact outside scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
