Nina Isabella

I’m a holistic women’s health counsellor, somatic psychotherapist and childbirth educator with over 25 years of experience supporting women and gender-diverse people through life’s most meaningful transitions.

​

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centred approach that honours the connection between mind, body and lived experience. I integrate evidence-based counselling and psychotherapy with body-aware practices such as mindfulness, breathwork and gentle somatic exploration, creating a space where you can feel safe, seen and supported.

I specialise in women’s mental health across the lifespan, including fertility challenges, pregnancy and birth preparation, postpartum support, motherhood and matrescence, menopause and midlife transitions. I also support clients navigating anxiety, grief and loss, chronic health conditions, pelvic pain, identity shifts, relationship challenges and emotional overwhelm.

​

I believe counselling is about walking alongside you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate greater self-compassion, clarity and resilience. My role is to offer grounded, respectful support that meets you where you are, while gently supporting growth and change at your own pace.

​

I hold a Master of Counselling and am a registered Member of the Australian Counselling Association. I have additional training in trauma-focused acceptance and commitment therapy, perinatal mental health, somatic psychotherapy and diversity-affirming practice. My work is inclusive, culturally sensitive and aligned with feminist and trauma-aware values.

​

I offer counselling sessions in person in Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges, as well as online via secure telehealth, allowing flexibility and accessibility wherever you are.
