Isabel Stock
Warm person-centred counsellor for trauma and identity
About Isabel
Isabel Stock uses a person-centred approach to therapy. She creates a warm, accepting space and focuses on the person's own goals. Isabel is a BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - registered member with four years of professional experience.
Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in the United Kingdom. Isabel offers practical listening and gentle guidance. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy, and also uses cognitive-behavioural skills alongside those approaches.
Background and approach
She offers support for people who have experienced physical, sexual or domestic violence and for those navigating depression, eating concerns and ADHD-related challenges. She is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and describes herself as plus size, which informs her work with fat-related trauma and body image issues. She provides a space to talk about gender and sexuality without judgement.
Isabel also supports people dealing with attachment issues, neurodivergence, chronic illness, caregiver stress and relationship communication problems. In sessions Isabel aims to help people name their priorities and take small, concrete steps towards change. Conversations tend to focus on what feels most pressing and what is realistic to try between sessions.
She helps people notice patterns, try new strategies and build more helpful routines. To start, the reader completes a short matching questionnaire and books according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and Isabel does not accept international clients.

How Isabel's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics for therapy. It helps when someone wants to be heard, build self-understanding and make choices that fit their life. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past harm and aims to reduce how much trauma interrupts daily life through careful, paced work that addresses memories and coping patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to decide which methods to try, and may combine person-centred listening with trauma-focused techniques or cognitive-behavioural skills depending on needs and goals. That choice is reviewed as work progresses so the plan matches changing priorities.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday commitments, such as taking a session during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the need to be on camera for the whole session if that helps someone engage.
