About Isabel
Isabel Stock is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She uses that approach to build a non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult experiences and find their own direction. Isabel brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
She offers a listening presence for people affected by physical, sexual or domestic violence. Isabel also supports those with eating difficulties, body image concerns, and fat-related trauma, drawing on her lived experience as a plus-size practitioner. People who want to talk about gender and sexuality can find space to do that without pressure or labels.
Isabel has worked with depression and anxiety and has particular experience with neurodivergent people. She describes herself as primarily person-centred and also uses cognitive behavioural therapy skills to help with practical patterns and coping ideas. Sessions focus on what the person bringing their concerns needs most in the moment.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She aims to help people make sense of their feelings and to move toward changes that matter in daily life. Conversations are paced to each person's comfort level.
Isabel practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member (MBACP). To explore whether her style fits, prospective clients are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first session according to availability.
How person-centred and trauma-focused work adapts online
Isabel draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person's own experience and priorities. This approach means sessions focus on listening, validation and helping people discover their own next steps. It is helpful for issues like identity, body image and long-standing emotional distress.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of physical, sexual or domestic violence. That approach involves careful pacing, attention to safety and techniques aimed at reducing the hold of traumatic memories and reactions. It is used alongside person-centred work rather than replacing it.
Finding the right approach happens together. Isabel will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then recommend steps to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and life and cutting travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have brief check-ins during a busy week or to join from a quieter location without the need to leave work. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
