Isabel Stock

Isabel Stock is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred style and draws on trauma-focused ideas to help people process difficult experiences. Isabel aims to make therapy feel straightforward and welcoming for people who are nervous about starting.

Isabel has four years of professional experience in therapeutic settings. She has worked with people affected by physical, sexual and domestic violence and offers a calm space to talk about those experiences. She also supports people who want to discuss their gender and sexuality and those from LGBT backgrounds.

She speaks openly about body image and fat-related trauma and offers understanding to people of all sizes who have eating concerns. Isabel also works with depression and anxiety, and has experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autistic traits or attention differences.

In sessions she takes a straightforward approach. She listens without judgement, reflects what clients say, and encourages people to follow their own pace. She aims to help people become clearer about what they want and how to move towards it.

Isabel describes her work as a collaborative process. She offers practical conversations about everyday struggles alongside space to process painful memories. People who value an accepting, person-centred space may find her approach helpful.

How person-centred and trauma-focused work translates online

Isabel works mainly in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on listening, acceptance and following the clients lead. This approach helps when people need a calm, steady space to talk through identity, body image or day-to-day struggles.

She also uses trauma-focused methods to gently address past harm. That work typically involves helping people make sense of difficult memories and learn ways to manage their impact on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Isabel will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide what to try first. The plan can change as progress is made, keeping the clients priorities central.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility limits and can allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed. Many people find it convenient for maintaining continuity of care when life is busy, and Isabel will discuss practical arrangements when you make your first appointment.
