When something needs to
change
Psychologically informed counselling for adults seeking clarity and sustainable change
Hi, I’m Isabella Ferguson.
I’m an experienced counsellor working with adults who are navigating periods of change, emotional strain, or patterns that no longer serve them. My work is grounded in psychological theory, evidence-informed practice, and a genuine respect for the complexity of adult life.
I support people with concerns including anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, and unhelpful coping strategies such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and problematic alcohol use. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, I work collaboratively to help clients understand what’s happening beneath the surface and to make thoughtful, sustainable change.
I practise in accordance with the Australian Counselling Association Code of Ethics and offer confidential, professional care. Alongside individual counselling, I’ve developed structured programs to support reflection and behavioural change where this is helpful.
Change often begins with a sense that something isn’t quite right — even if it’s hard to name. Many people arrive knowing they want things to feel different, but unsure how to understand the patterns they’re caught in or what needs to shift.

Structured Programs
(By Enquiry)
Some people prefer a structured, self-paced way of working alongside or instead of individual counselling.
Where appropriate, I offer psychologically informed programs designed to support reflection, insight, and behavioural change. These may be helpful for people exploring patterns around stress, coping, or alcohol use, and can be undertaken at your own pace.

Services
Individual counselling
One-to-one sessions focused on understanding patterns, developing insight, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change. I work collaboratively and with care, tailoring the work to each person’s circumstances and goals.
Sessions are offered via telehealth.
I offer individual counselling for adults seeking thoughtful, psychologically informed support. This work focuses on understanding patterns, navigating change, and developing more sustainable ways of responding to stress, relationships, and internal pressure over time.
Online programs
A limited number of self-paced programs are available for those seeking a structured approach to behaviour change. These can complement individual counselling where appropriate.
Enquiries welcome.
Previous work
I’ve previously hosted podcasts exploring wellbeing, stress, and our relationship with alcohol. Selected conversations remain available on podcast platforms.
