About Isabel
Isabel Stock is a BACP therapist in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works primarily using a person-centred approach and also draws on cognitive behavioural skills. Isabel helps people who are carrying shame or guilt related to sexuality, body image, eating, trauma, depression and neurodivergence.
Isabel is part of the LGBTQ+ community and notes lived experience with larger body size. She offers a space for people to talk about fat related trauma and body image struggles. She also supports conversations about gender and sexuality without judgement.
She has worked with people affected by physical, sexual or domestic violence and uses trauma-focused ways of working alongside person-centred methods. That means practical grounding and a focus on the person's own priorities, with techniques to manage upsetting thoughts and memories when needed.
Isabel sees clients with depression, anxiety and neurodivergent traits such as autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She also works with eating difficulties, communication and attachment questions, and relationship endings like divorce and separation.
In sessions she listens to what matters most to the client and helps them clarify goals. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the person. The practical aim is to reduce the hold of shame or guilt and to increase clarity about next steps and choices.
How Isabel uses person-centred and trauma-focused work online
Isabel draws on person-centred principles online, which means the conversation begins with what matters most to the client. This approach is about listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own way forward. It suits people who need a steady, client-led space to talk through guilt or shame.She also uses trauma-focused methods to help manage the effects of physical, sexual or domestic violence and other intrusive memories. That can involve grounding exercises and strategies to reduce the intensity of upsetting thoughts so they no longer dominate daily life. These techniques are used alongside person-centred work as needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Isabel will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to reach people who cannot attend in person, while still focusing on practical steps to address shame and guilt.
