About Lisa
Lisa Studdert is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and ADHD. Her background includes emergency mental health work, which shaped how she stays calm and present with people in crisis.
Lisa uses straightforward, person-centred conversations to clarify what clients want to change. She combines talk-based methods with body-focused work when needed, because the body often holds strong memories and reactions. She also uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Those concerned about family patterns will find relevant experience here, including work on family of origin issues, attachment difficulties and communication problems. She also supports people facing abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress and first responder issues. Lisa acknowledges neurodiversity and works with autistic people and those with ADHD on practical regulation and focus strategies.
In sessions she aims for steady pacing and clear steps. That can mean learning skills to manage anxiety, experimenting with different ways to respond in relationship conflict, or using body-based techniques to reduce overwhelm. She avoids shaming and looks for what works for each person’s brain and life.
Practical starting steps include a short intake process and a first session to set goals. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are run in English in Australia.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Lisa often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with family patterns and relationship stress. ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy principles, which means sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. This approach supports people who need to talk through family of origin issues or figure out what relationship changes feel doable. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process and will be based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time. It also lets the therapist and client try strategies together between sessions and adjust the approach as they learn what helps.
