About Annette
Annette Isibor is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports those facing trauma, grief, issues with intimacy, and struggles with self-esteem or motivation. Annette also works with concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, parenting strain and bipolar-related challenges.
She offers a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Conversations are shaped around what the person brings each week. Annette adapts her methods to suit the issue and the individual rather than using a single fixed plan.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Systemic therapy ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ways of working. She also uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques when they fit the need. These approaches help map patterns, notice thoughts and build practical steps for change.
Annette has 21 years of professional experience and holds BACP recognition. Her background includes supporting people through complex emotional problems and life transitions, and she aims to make sessions clear and manageable. In a first meeting she will listen to what matters most and agree simple goals.
Later sessions focus on building clearer patterns, practical skills and ways to cope between meetings. The pace and tools are chosen together so the work feels useful and doable. People who prefer a collaborative, problem-solving approach tend to find this helpful.
Annette communicates in plain language and emphasises small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and the wider context around a difficulty. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns, notice recurring roles and consider different ways of responding to relationship or family-related stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that matter to you. In video or text work this approach supports noticing thoughts and committing to practical steps that fit your life. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe. Conversations online can trace those patterns and support building new ways of connecting to yourself and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and then agree a plan. That plan is reviewed as you go, so methods can change if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussions. Phone sessions can be quicker and easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to use video. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus.
