Hi, I’m Isabelle, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a deep passion for helping clients struggling with their mental health navigate life’s challenges. I am currently accepting new clients with a valid Mental Health Care Plan. My practice now offers bulk-billed video or phone appointments (no cost to you). Face-to-face appointments are conducted at Melbourne Therapy Rooms in Thornbury, with an out-of-pocket fee applicable for in-person sessions (after Medicare rebate). I seek to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can feel heard, build resilience, and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
With over six years experience in acute mental health and youth counselling, I draw on evidence-based approaches to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, amotivation, trauma, OCD, ADHD/neurodiversity, workplace stress, grief and loss, relationship challenges, identity and self-esteem concerns, and other life stressors.
If you're seeking support at this time, you've already taken an important first step. I welcome you to get in touch to arrange an initial session so we can discuss your goals and whether this is the right therapeutic support for you. For clients with the NDIS: If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, our sessions may be covered under your NDIS plan.
Take the first step to help. Isabelle Skutela now
