About Annette

Annette Isibor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and sleep problems. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and grief. With a calm, respectful manner she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Annette has 21 years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown in her listed credentials. She uses straightforward talking therapy and practical techniques to help people make daily changes that matter. Sessions are shaped to each person rather than following a fixed template.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused conversation and client-centred practice. That means working on thoughts and habits, noticing relationship patterns that affect current life, and keeping the dialogue focused on the person's priorities. Annette adapts tools from each approach depending on what each person needs.

She aims to offer clear steps for coping with worry, improving sleep routines, managing strong emotions, and repairing or understanding relationship patterns. The work often includes simple exercises to try between sessions and time to reflect on what helps.

People who choose to work with Annette can expect a warm, compassionate approach and practical suggestions they can test in everyday life. If you want to talk about how she might support your situation, she encourages you to take the next step and begin the matching process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and to regain momentum after difficult events. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviour and can help when intimacy, trust or repeated conflicts are a concern. Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-directive, listening-led space where the person's pace and priorities guide the sessions and can be useful for building self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Annette will work together with each person to decide which ideas and tools feel most useful. The plan can change as things move forward and as new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online work, please confirm what session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, remove travel time, and let people choose a quieter place for talking. A therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit practical needs and personal preferences.
