Isabella Loxton, AHPRA

Isabella Loxton is a psychologist registered with AHPRA, the national Australian regulator for health practitioners, and brings four years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and offers informed support for intimacy-related concerns, LGBTQIA+ matters and attachment issues. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar management, as well as family and parenting struggles.

In addition to general mental health, Isabella has a particular interest in women’s health topics such as fertility, endometriosis and perinatal mental health, while also supporting men’s mental health and clients navigating major life transitions. She integrates practical, evidence-informed methods with a client-centered stance, tailoring each session to the person’s goals and preferences and focusing on clear, realistic strategies that build coping skills and foster progress.

Isabella sees clients in-clinic at Her Health and at Conscious Shift in South Australia, and offers online sessions for people located in Australia. She aims to create a respectful, collaborative therapeutic space where people feel heard, understood and empowered to take the next steps toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Isabella uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where lasting behaviour change is a goal.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to manage mood, worry and relationship difficulties. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy underpins her style by prioritizing the person’s perspective and creating a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens, reflects and supports self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Isabella works collaboratively with each person to select or combine methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences. She regularly reviews progress and adapts the plan so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Isabella is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit appointments around work, family and location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home and choose the format that feels most comfortable for you while working with a licensed professional.
