Emotional support for older adults
Feel calmer, more supported and more like yourself again.
Gentle one-to-one emotional support for older adults — without spending every session going back over painful memories.
Through counselling, mindfulness and Neuro Transformation Therapy, I help older adults feel safer, calmer and more confident in their lives today.
If you receive aged care funding, ask your provider whether this support can be included in your approved care plan.

A little more support
You don’t have to keep struggling on your own
Perhaps you — or someone you love — has been feeling:
- anxious or unable to switch off
- lonely or isolated
- overwhelmed by change
- low in confidence
- worried about the future
- stuck in old thoughts or memories
- like you’ve lost some of your spark
- exhausted from always trying to cope
- unsure who you are after retirement, loss, illness or major life changes
You may understand why you feel the way you do. You may even have talked about the past many times.
But sometimes understanding alone doesn’t change how you feel today.
You may simply want to feel better.
Calmer. Safer. More confident. More connected.
And able to enjoy this chapter of your life. 🤍
A different place to begin
A different kind of emotional support
I’m Isabelle Fitzgerald, and I’ve been working with people for more than 25 years.
My approach brings together counselling, mindfulness and Neuro Transformation Therapy (NTT).
We don’t need to spend every session reliving painful experiences.
We can acknowledge what has happened while also working with what is happening now — the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and patterns that may still be affecting how you feel.
Together, we can work on helping you feel calmer in your body, understand yourself with greater compassion, and begin responding differently to the things that have been keeping you stuck.
The focus isn’t only on understanding your past. It’s helping you live your life now.
At your pace
What can we work on together?
Every person is different, so our sessions are shaped around what you need.
That might include support with anxiety and overthinking, grief and loss, confidence and self-worth, loneliness, family relationships, major life changes, stress, emotional overwhelm, finding purpose again, or simply learning how to feel more settled within yourself.
We may use mindfulness, breathing and grounding practices, compassionate conversation and NTT techniques to explore old emotional patterns and help you develop new ways of responding.
There is no pressure to tell me everything at once.
We work gently, at your pace.
A client’s experience
“I understand why I feel this way. I just want to feel different.”
I hear versions of this often.
One of my clients came to me after having psychology and talk therapy for a long time. She understood her story incredibly well.
But she told me that continually going back over painful experiences had become exhausting for her. She still felt anxious in her body.
She wanted to feel calm. She wanted to feel safe. And she wanted to enjoy her life again.
So our work together has been different. Rather than spending our sessions continually going back over what had happened, we’ve also been helping her work with what she is experiencing today.
And over time, I’ve watched more of her energy, confidence and spark begin to return.

Understanding your options
Support through your aged care funding
Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025. If you previously had a Home Care Package, your provider can explain what your current funding covers.
Ask your provider whether counselling or emotional wellbeing support with Isabelle is eligible under your approved care plan. Funding for Isabelle’s services, including NTT, needs to be confirmed by your provider before sessions begin.
If you’re unsure, you don’t need to work it all out before contacting me.
We can discuss your circumstances during your complimentary chat and determine the appropriate next step.
For the people who care
For sons, daughters & family members 🤍
Perhaps you’re here because you’re worried about someone you love.
You can see that Mum or Dad isn’t quite themselves. Maybe they’re more anxious. More withdrawn. They’ve lost confidence.
They’re struggling with grief, health changes, loneliness or a major transition. Or perhaps they’ve simply lost some of the spark they used to have.
You want to support them, but you’re not always sure what to say or what kind of help would suit them.
You’re very welcome to reach out.
We can have an initial conversation about the support you’re looking for and whether I may be the right person to help.
Meet Isabelle
Hi, I’m Isabelle. 🤍
I’ve been in practice for more than 25 years, supporting people through anxiety, emotional challenges, life transitions and the patterns that can keep us feeling stuck.
My work today combines my experience in counselling with mindfulness and Neuro Transformation Therapy.
But more than anything, I want the people I work with to feel heard, understood and safe being themselves.
You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly what’s wrong. You don’t have to have the perfect words. And you don’t have to tell your entire life story in the first session.
We start where you are.
Your next step can be very simple
Let’s have a cup of tea and a chat. ☕ 🤍
You don’t have to commit to anything today.
Book a complimentary 30-minute conversation with me. You can tell me a little about what’s been happening, ask any questions you have, and we can see whether working together feels right for you.
If you’re enquiring for your mum, dad or another family member, you’re welcome to start the conversation too.
