About Annette
Annette Isibor is a counsellor with 21 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She supports people dealing with mood changes, addictions, grief, sleeping or eating concerns, parenting stress and a wide range of other difficulties including phobias. Her approach aims to make difficult problems easier to talk about and manage.
Annette draws on several well-known methods to shape sessions. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to look at how relationships and past experiences affect current feelings. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Annette adapts the way she talks and the exercises she offers to what a person needs right now.
She emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental attitude in every meeting. Over two decades of work have included supporting people through trauma, loss and problems with intimacy, control and communication. That background helps her recognise patterns and suggest small, actionable steps clients can try between sessions.
She explains approaches in plain language and builds goals together with each person. People can expect practical strategies, reflective listening and a steady focus on what they want to change.
How approaches like ACT and CBT work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance and problems that get in the way of living the life someone values.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical changes. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday struggles.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate to others now and can be useful for intimacy concerns and communication problems. Sessions using attachment ideas explore relational patterns and aim to change how people connect with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or combine methods that best fit the situation and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reviews between sessions or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
