Isabel Stock, BACP

Isabel Stock is a person-centred counsellor who works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance. She introduces herself plainly and creates space for people to be themselves. Isabel draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation as a Registered Member.

Isabel offers a warm, accepting environment for people carrying experiences of trauma. She has worked with those affected by physical, sexual or domestic violence and helps people process those experiences at a pace that suits them. She also supports people with depression, anxiety and neurodivergent perspectives.

As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, Isabel makes space for conversations about gender and sexuality. She identifies as plus size and states she can help people dealing with fat-related trauma, eating difficulties and body image issues. This means discussions about weight and body image are invited rather than avoided.

Her core approach is person-centred therapy, which prioritises the clients own goals and pace. She also uses trauma-focused methods when working with traumatic memories and their ongoing effects. Isabel blends these approaches with practical skills influenced by cognitive-behavioural ideas when helpful.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Isabel focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people notice patterns that get in the way of change. She encourages small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapists availability. Fees vary with location and availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to be heard, understood and accepted. Online sessions can carry that same simple attentiveness, helping people clarify their own goals and feel more comfortable with who they are. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves gentle, structured ways of addressing traumatic memories and their effects; online work can support that process using paced conversation and focused exercises tailored to each person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most useful, try methods and adjust based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when days are busy. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options are preferable. Many clients find online sessions help them maintain continuity while working towards clear, practical steps in daily life.
