Isabella’s experience
Bella is a Clinical Psychologist who works with adults navigating a range of life’s challenges. She holds a Master in Clinical Psychology and Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Newcastle, and is registered with AHPRA with Clinical Endorsement.

She has worked across both public and private settings, and currently divides her time between Lacuna Psychology and the inpatient unit at HNE Health.

Bella believes in a person-centred and strengths-based approach, meaning she views each client as the expert in their own life. She focuses on understanding their unique identity, values and lived experiences, and works to build upon their existing skills and inner strengths to support growth and healing. A key part of her work is empowering people to be curious about their own inner experiences to foster self-understanding and a stronger sense of personal agency in navigating life’s challenges.

Isabella’s approach to therapy
Bella draws from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills. She tailors each session to the needs of the individual, supporting clients to deepen their self-understanding, reconnect with their values and move forward with clarity.
