About Lisa
Lisa Studdert is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She trained in counselling and has a background in emergency mental health care, which means she stays calm under pressure and can support people through intense moments.
Lisa adapts each session to what the client wants to focus on and respects how each brain and body responds to stress. Her sessions are person-centred and attachment-based, with a focus on helping people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
Lisa uses practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and build small, sustainable changes. She also includes hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s goals and preferences. Lisa often helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship difficulties, and heal from trauma or abuse at a pace that feels safe.
She also supports people with self-esteem concerns and ADHD-related challenges such as focus and emotional regulation. Her style is steady and non-judgemental, avoiding pressure to ‘fix’ anyone quickly. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward.
Lisa listens first, then suggests approaches tailored to what the person finds helpful. The work might include conversation, practical exercises, breathing and grounding, and moments of focused imagery or guided relaxation. People who choose Lisa can expect clear explanations, gentle pacing, and practical steps to try between sessions.
She encourages realistic goals and honours each person’s experience as they work toward better day-to-day coping and more satisfying relationships.

Online support
Approaches that adapt to you in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. In online work this can help with ongoing anxiety, stress, and motivation by breaking things into small, workable steps. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings; it helps people understand connection and rebuild trust in how they relate to others. That can be useful for relationship difficulties and deep attachment wounds. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help a person access calm and work with habits, confidence, or stress responses in a different way from talk-only sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Lisa frames it as collaborative. She will talk through options with each person, try methods gently, and adapt based on what feels helpful. The aim is to match tools to goals rather than to use a single technique for everyone.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work through emotion and body-awareness together, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, journalling support, or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or days when travel is difficult, while still using ACT, attachment work, or hypnotherapy techniques where appropriate.
