Isabella McLeod

Clinical Psychologist

Isabella is a registered Clinical Psychologist with experience working across public mental health, private practice, and community settings. She works with adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, with a particular focus on perinatal and infant mental health.

Isabella has a special interest in supporting fathers and new dads, recognising that the emotional and identity shifts of early parenthood often go unacknowledged for men. She also works with expectant and new mothers, and non-binary parents, across a range of concerns including perinatal anxiety and depression, birth trauma, difficulties bonding with baby, relationship and intimacy changes, perfectionism, return to work, and navigating new family dynamics.

Isabella also enjoys working with adults experiencing anxiety-related difficulties, including generalised anxiety, panic, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), perfectionism, and stress. She is passionate about helping clients make sense of their experiences, build confidence in managing challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

In addition to individual therapy, Isabella offers dyadic (parent-infant) support, gently nurturing both parental wellbeing and the developing parent-baby relationship.

With a warm, reflective, and non-judgmental approach, Isabella works collaboratively to understand your story and what feels most important to you. Drawing on attachment-informed and evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy, she tailors support to individual needs across both short- and longer-term work.

Babies are always welcome in sessions.
