self & seasons psychology

Therapy for the seasons that reshape us: holding space for change, growth and motherhood

Welcome

Self & Seasons Psychology is a telehealth service based in Adelaide, South Australia, offering evidence-based psychological therapy across Australia.

Born from a deep respect for the significant life transitions —“seasons”— that we move through across our lives, Self & Seasons Psychology offers a supportive space to feel heard, understood, and gently re-empowered, from wherever you feel comfortable.

Behind Self & Seasons Psychology is Isadora Aldam: Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor. Isadora has experience across private, government, and not-for-profit settings. After starting a family of her own, she recognised (and experienced!) the changes in identity, relationships, life structure and purpose that can come with significant life transitions, and the importance of providing therapy that feels accessible, non-judgemental, warm and comfortable.
