About Annette
Annette Isibor is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 21 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also works with parenting concerns, grief, trauma and a range of intimacy and eating or sleeping issues.
Annette uses several approaches to help people speak through difficult moments. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred practice. Sessions focus on practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and on exploring feelings that affect relationships and daily life.
Clients who come for parenting or family-related concerns can expect straightforward conversation about patterns that cause friction. Annette listens for how past experiences influence current reactions and helps people try different responses in ordinary situations. She aims to make sessions clear and manageable so busy adults can fit them into everyday life.
Her background includes long experience supporting people dealing with addictions, bipolar mood issues, anger and attachment difficulties. She also works with those coping with bereavement, body image and caregiving stress. The work often mixes reflective talk with practical exercises to try between sessions.
Practical steps to start are simple: complete the site questionnaire, choose a session time and begin with an initial meeting to set goals. Sessions are conducted in English and arrangements for international clients can be discussed when booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Annette draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which can suit problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating in daily life.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. She will work with the client to set goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. It is common to combine short practical exercises with conversations about feelings and relationship patterns.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the options available before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work or caregiving duties. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins, or sessions without video if bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks to suit everyday life and routines.
