About Annette
Annette Isibor is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction struggles, sleep and eating issues, parenting pressures and intimacy concerns. Annette has 21 years of UK-based experience and holds BACP registration.
She works in a straightforward, respectful way. Conversations are adapted to each person. Annette aims to build clarity about what is causing distress and what practical steps might help day to day.
Annette draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural work, attachment-focused ideas and client-centred listening. That allows her to use different tools depending on whether someone needs skills, emotional repair or a space to be heard.
In sessions she focuses on small, achievable changes as well as exploring deeper patterns that keep problems returning. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings and reactions.
Her style is warm and direct. Assessment and planning are collaborative so people leave with clear next steps and simple practices to try between meetings. Annette encourages people to take their own pace and to revisit goals as progress unfolds.
How Annette blends approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It suits stress, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations now, and can help where relationship patterns and intimacy problems cause suffering.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette will talk with each person about what matters most and try methods that fit their goals. She treats the choice as a collaboration and revises the plan if something does not feel helpful.

Others prefer longer, focused meetings to work on deeper issues. The focus is on making therapy workable around home, work and family demands while matching approach and pace to each persons needs.
