About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois is a counsellor who draws on existential thinking to help people make sense of their lives. She brings 22 years of experience working in UK mental health settings and in independent practice. Isabelle speaks English and French and aims to make early steps into therapy feel manageable and clear.
Isabelle often sees people coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship tension, grief, trauma and addiction concerns.
Background and approach
Practical problems such as sleep difficulties, parenting strain and career transitions are within her focus too. Her approach is relational and client-centred. Sessions begin with listening - understanding what matters to the person and what they hope to change.
Conversations are straightforward and free from judgement so people can name feelings and test small new ways of responding. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools are used to help people notice patterns and calm intense emotions.
Solution-focused steps are introduced when clients want short-term goals and practical changes. Isabelle’s work in GP-referred services means she is used to helping people with complex, overlapping issues. She supports people who are finding life empty or overwhelming and helps them find direction again.
If you prefer to speak in French she can work in that language as well.

Online support
How existential and relational approaches work online
Isabelle blends existential ideas with attachment-based and client-centred methods to guide online work. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and the challenges of being human, helping people facing emptiness, life transitions or difficult decisions. Attachment-based work examines how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people notice and change repeating cycles. Client-centred practice focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace to build trust and clarity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Isabelle will explore your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit you. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the focus as you learn what helps most for stress, relationships or grief.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when you need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and progress between sessions.
