Welcome to Actualised Psychotherapy!
Boutique Counselling for Busy Women.
My name is Isabella and I am the principal therapist at Actualised Psychotherapy, where I nurture and empower women in Perth, WA.
As a registered Counsellor, I draw upon my seven years of tertiary education, combined with personal experience as a fellow high striver, to ensure every client’s needs are met, with genuine care and personalised support.
“I feel like I have found a safe space to voice my thoughts and feelings. We talk like equals, which is one of the things I love most about Isabella - she treats you as if you’re on the same page. Isabella talks to me with sincerity, kindness and humour that helped me trust her easily, and that is what makes her a wonderful therapist.”
I am here to help you reduce the overwhelm and manage your mental load.
I admire your ambitious goals and determined perseverance to achieve them, and I understand that you are driven by high personal standards and a desire for success.
Like you, I am also highly motivated, disciplined, and focused on progress. I also know that this mindset can sometimes lead to excessive pressure, perfectionism, and burnout if we don’t balance our lives out with self-care.
Taking you from surviving to thriving, I specialise in stress management, anxiety relief and confidence boosting.
Because you deserve to live your best life!
“I have known Isabella for a few years and she has been so helpful and understanding to me with everything we have worked on together. She is super down-to-earth, and she guides you on the right path while also allowing room for you to grow and discover the best version of yourself. I truly recommend her service.”
Making it comfortable to go there.
You can think of me as your ideal companion on this journey of life, working through your thoughts, feelings and decisions with you while I listen without judgment, stay quiet until you’ve got it all out and with your permission, offer understanding, varying perspectives and a curious question or gentle challenge.
Collaboration and connection built on mutual respect.
Using clear, direct and authentic communication, every decision is made in your best interest; to build your awareness, soothe your big feelings and boost your relationship with yourself, others and the world.
I will work with you to shed light on your blind spots and clear the figurative path for greater clarity and change.
With goals that are unique to you, I will work with you to identify your needs for now and the future and how best we can work towards achieving these with ease.
“I was seeing Isabella for three years. Not a moment did I feel unseen. She always created a safe and nonjudgmental space. During this time I learnt a lot of skills that I will continue to carry and use in my daily life. She was approachable and kind and I would definitely recommend her to help others.”
I want you to know that:
You don’t just have to survive- you can thrive!
You don’t have to have reached breaking or crisis point to work on and enhance aspects of your life.
Mental load management is a very valid reason to seek counselling.
Every day stress and anxiety deserve attention and can be alleviated with management tools and coping techniques.
You don’t have to go it alone!
When we put our wellbeing needs first, everything gets better – our ability to handle stress, time manage, communicate effectively, our relationships with friends, partner, family, even our job satisfaction.
We can’t pour from an empty cup.
We don’t have to accept less than we want for yourselves!
