About Annette

Annette Isibor is a counsellor with 21 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and problems with addiction. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and parenting strain. Annette works with a wide range of related issues including attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, body image and communication problems.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She uses clear conversation to help people understand what is getting in the way of change. Sessions focus on practical steps, gentle reflection and building skills to cope day to day.

Annette draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centred work and attachment-based ideas. She adapts these methods to each person’s situation rather than using a fixed routine. This lets her target thoughts, emotional patterns and relationship dynamics where they matter most.

She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Annette has worked in the UK for over two decades and brings that practical experience into therapy sessions. Her way of working aims to be warm, direct and tailored to the person in front of her.

People can expect honest conversations, clear goals and a focus on small, achievable changes. The aim is to help people feel more in control of their emotions and relationships and to build useful new ways of coping.

Online therapy approaches and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and issues that involve avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. It is useful when relationship trust, closeness or repeating conflicts are the main concern.

The right way of working is usually found together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, they will adapt the method or try a different route so the work stays collaborative and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are hard to schedule. It can also let people join from a place with fewer distractions, or choose a phone call when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to continue steady progress while accommodating everyday life.
