Psychologist Adelaide EMDR Schema Therapy

Clinical Psychologist Adelaide

Hi! I’m Isabella (she/her). I’m a Clinical Psychologist based in Adelaide, providing therapy in beautiful Norwood.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, hard to manage emotions, low self-esteem, and relationships that don’t feel fulfilling. I’m empathetic and down to earth, meaning I show up as myself in the therapy room and invite you to as well.

When life deals you a difficult hand, I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space to express, explore, and process your thoughts and emotions. I often work with people who have previously engaged in therapy, gained insight or coping strategies, but still find themselves returning to familiar patterns.

Together, we focus on developing deeper self-awareness, identifying patterns, and understanding how past experiences may be shaping current struggles. I support you to manage triggers more effectively and process past experiences, so they have less impact on your present life.

My goal is for you to feel seen, understood, and accepted just as they are, while also supporting you to develop greater self-understanding and make meaningful, lasting changes.

Values

What’s important to us.

Authenticity

I show up in session as myself and ask clients do the same. This allows for genuine and trusting relationships to develop, which is integral to successful therapy.

Compassion

I am naturally non-judgemental, empathetic, and caring. I show genuine care and a sincere interest in supporting people during their challenges.

Effectiveness

I provide therapy that is evidence-based and proven to be effective. Therapy involves understanding the problem, setting goals and delivery therapy to help you achieve these goals. My therapy is LGBTQIAP+ affirming, neuro-affirming, and trauma and attachment informed.

Respect

All people are worthy regardless of gender or sexual identity, neurotype, cultural background, race, or ethnicity. I respect clients autonomy, maintain confidentiality, and foster trusting relationships.

Client-Therapist ‘fit’

Finding the right client-therapist “fit” is integral to meaningful therapy. This often comes down to therapeutic style, choice of therapy, and for lack of a better word, “vibe”. If I’m not the right fit for you, I will do my best to suggest other therapists who may be better suited.
