About Isla

Isla (she/her) is an experienced, dedicated clinical psychologist whose approach to therapy is casual, friendly, and - where appropriate - a little bit sarcastic. Isla sees clients and holds them in regard for who they are, not just as a collection of symptoms to be fixed. Isla believes her role is to be collaborative and curious, all while treating the client as the expert in their own life.

With a lived experience of neurodivergence, Isla knows what it is like to struggle in a world that barely holds space for allistic people, let alone neurodivergent people. She takes this empathy into her practice, with a special interest in working with ND populations. She also has knowledge of the intersection between ND and chronic illness.

That being said, Isla can work with a range of clientele and with a variety of approaches. Isla has worked with clients to relieve the load of mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts and feelings. She has also walked with clients in their journeys of sexuality and gender self-discovery and actualisation.

Isla believes in the importance of a trauma-informed lens. Trained in EMDR, Schema Therapy, CBT, ACT, and Solution Focused Therapy, she has a wide range of tools to help.
