About Isabel
Isabel Tate is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or self-esteem. Isabel also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career worries and life changes.
Isabel offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
How Isabel works
Conversations centre on what matters to the person in front of her and on small steps that make a difference day to day. Her work draws on client-centred principles. That means listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities rather than following a fixed programme.
Mindfulness techniques are used too, helping people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them. Isabel has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression and compassion fatigue, as well as those exploring identity, purpose or loneliness. She also works with concerns such as anger, guilt, communication problems and ADHD-related stress.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Isabel guides people step by step so they can find a way of working that fits their life and goals.

Online support options
Client-led and mindful approaches for online therapy
Isabel uses client-centred work to shape sessions around each person’s priorities. That means she listens first, then the conversation and goals follow what the client brings. This approach helps with issues such as relationship strain, low self-worth and life transitions.She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions. These are simple practices that help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing difficult emotions day to day.
Finding the right approach often happens together. Isabel discusses options with each person and adapts the style to fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative way helps people try things out without pressure and adjust what they do as progress is made.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
