About Isabel
Isabel Stock is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She describes herself as primarily a person-centred therapist and also draws on cognitive behavioural skills. Isabel works with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating concerns and trauma related to physical, sexual or domestic violence, and she lists LGBT-related issues among her areas of focus.
Isabel welcomes discussion of gender and sexuality and notes her own membership of the LGBTQ+ community. She also identifies as plus size and offers support for fat-related trauma, body image struggles and eating difficulties. These are areas she has worked with directly in clinical time.
She reports experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those dealing with the emotional impact of chronic health conditions, caregiver stress or life changes like separation and divorce. Isabel also lists interest in attachment issues, dissociation and difficulties with communication and control.
In practice she uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s perspective and pace. She supplements that with trauma-focused techniques where appropriate, and with cognitive behavioural tools when useful for managing mood or anxiety symptoms.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Isabel asks clients to lead with what feels most pressing and then works collaboratively to identify small, practical steps. To begin she asks people to use the platform’s matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment via the online therapy options button.
How approaches shape online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping them voice what matters most and decide next steps. This approach is useful for exploring identity, body image concerns and the emotional fallout of relationship problems.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing the effects of harm and building practical coping skills. It can involve grounding, pacing and working through traumatic memories carefully, and is often used when people report past physical, sexual or domestic violence.
Isabel will work collaboratively to find which of these approaches, or which mix of techniques, feels most helpful. She will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as sessions progress rather than committing to a single plan from the outset.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without being on camera if that helps someone manage their anxiety or sensory needs.
