About Annette
Annette Isibor is a counsellor with over 21 years of UK practice experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and intimacy-related worries. Annette works with a wide range of personal struggles such as eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and bipolar challenges.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She draws on existential ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred methods.
Background and approach
That means conversations look at what matters to the person, how thoughts and behaviours are connected, and what choices feel meaningful in daily life. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Annette aims to listen carefully, reflect back what she hears, and help people try new ways of coping between sessions.
She explains tools in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. Over two decades of work have exposed her to many different life situations and responses to distress. That experience helps her recognise patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency and the effects of abandonment or trauma.
She uses this background to tailor support rather than follow a single method. People who prefer an exploring, values-based style often find this approach helpful. Annette encourages practical steps alongside deeper reflection so people can both manage symptoms and think about long-term changes.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Existential Therapy invites people to look at life meaning, choices and responsibility in simple, down-to-earth conversation. It helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain about direction, or troubled by big life questions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings while acting on values; it is useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and helps people understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss goals and suggest ways forward rather than impose a single method. Together the person and therapist can try an approach and adjust it over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and they let people try different formats to find what helps most.
