About Lisa
Lisa Studdert is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with around five years of clinical experience. She brings calm presence from work in emergency mental health and private practice. Lisa focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsafe after trauma, and those whose anxiety or relationship patterns are wearing them down.
Lisa tailors each session to what the person wants to work on. She uses a person-centred, attachment-based and emotionally-focused style that honours how a person's brain and body show up. Sessions may include body-oriented work and practical skills, depending on what feels helpful.
She often helps people who live with ongoing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship conflict or effects of trauma and abuse. Lisa also supports people navigating ADHD, autism and codependency concerns, working at a pace that suits each person.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural tools and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills alongside somatic techniques. The goal is to notice patterns, build new responses, and strengthen everyday coping rather than quick fixes.
People who come to Lisa usually want straightforward conversation, clear short-term goals and a warm, non-judgemental space to try new ways of relating. She invites clients to take practical steps between sessions and to set the pace for deeper work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low motivation and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with trust, closeness and repeating relationship cycles. Client-Centred Therapy creates a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and focus, which suits people who need to feel heard before trying practical change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss different methods and collaborate with the client to pick what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try interventions such as ACT exercises, attachment-focused conversation and client-led reflection from a convenient setting, helping therapy sit alongside everyday life rather than replace it.
