Isabelle Dubois
Relational therapist helping people find steady progress
About Isabelle
Isabelle Dubois offers a relational, people-centred approach to therapy. She uses familiar, straightforward conversation to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Isabelle brings 22 years of experience in clinical and independent practice settings across the United Kingdom.
She speaks English and French and holds BACP membership. Isabelle focuses on everyday problems like sleep issues, parenting strain, career transitions and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, body image concerns and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and calm, so people can make small changes that matter. Her way of working draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and build coping skills.
Existential themes are also part of sessions when clients want to examine meaning, purpose or big life questions. In the room, Isabelle listens carefully and reflects what she hears. Conversations focus on what is most urgent for the person sitting in front of her.
Together they look for achievable steps and ways to test what helps between sessions. People who choose Isabelle can expect a relaxed pace and straightforward language. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Isabelle encourages realistic goals and follows the client’s lead while offering structure when needed.

Sessions & fees
How attachment and emotion-focused work translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise different responses in day-to-day life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift painful emotions in the moment, which can reduce reactivity and improve communication. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to manage stress and low mood.Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic journey and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches and adjust them as needed. This collaborative process helps match methods to what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, pacing thoughts in writing, or fitting therapy into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible while focusing on the same therapeutic work as face-to-face sessions.
