Isabel Stock

Isabel Stock is a BACP therapist who mainly works using a person-centred approach. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can bring concerns about eating, body image and related trauma. Isabel also supports people who want to talk about gender, sexuality or life changes.

With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Isabel combines a client-centred stance with practical cognitive behavioural skills. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, while also using straightforward strategies when they help. She has worked with people affected by physical, sexual and domestic violence and offers a calm space to talk through those experiences.

Isabel identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community and describes herself as plus size, which informs her awareness of fat related trauma and body image concerns. She aims to make conversations about size, eating and identity easier to have without judgement. Many people come to her for help with eating-related difficulties and for support with body image distress.

She also supports people with depression, anxiety and neurodivergent clients who need a different pace or structure in sessions. Isabel’s manner is encouraging and steady; she helps clients explore who they are and what they want from life.

People who choose to work with her can expect a listening-led approach that also offers practical steps when needed. She encourages small changes and honest conversation as part of ongoing healing.

Person-centred and trauma-informed work online

Isabel draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s own experience and pace. That approach focuses on being listened to without judgement and helping people make sense of their feelings. It can suit concerns about identity, body image and ongoing life stressors.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of past harm. This approach concentrates on understanding how traumatic experiences affect daily life and on finding ways to reduce distress and regain a sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Isabel will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help you decide which way of working feels most useful. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and daily routines, and can reduce travel time. It also allows for different session styles - shorter check-ins or longer weekly meetings - so practical scheduling can be tailored to ordinary life.
