Isabella Loxton , AHPRA

Isabella Loxton is an Australia-based counsellor who focuses on women's health and wider wellbeing. She draws on practical approaches to help people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues connected to fertility and perinatal health.

Isabella works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions are used to identify clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. She listens first, and then offers strategies you can try between meetings so progress can feel tangible.

Her style blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. This mix helps people notice what matters most, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and build habits that support wellbeing. Motivational interviewing and client-centred principles also guide how she tailors sessions to each person.

Isabella has four years of clinical experience and is registered with AHPRA. She sees people with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, trauma, ADHD, body image and grief. She also works with sexuality and gender-related issues and people exploring kink and alternative sex culture.

She offers both in-clinic and online sessions across Australia. Isabella describes her work as practical, compassionate and goal-focused, with an emphasis on helping people find manageable ways to cope and move forward.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their routine and availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical strategies to change behaviour and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused noticing of thoughts and sensations to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress and trauma responses.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Based on that conversation she will suggest options and adapt techniques so they fit your life and what you want to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit around work, medical appointments or childcare. These formats give flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
