Time Zone: Newcastle, NSW (AEST/AEDT)
Background: Lisa is a PACFA registered Counsellor offering both online counselling and walk and talk sessions in the greater Newcastle area. She brings a thoughtful and supportive approach to her work, helping individuals make sense of their experiences and move toward meaningful change.
Specialty: Lisa specialises in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and stress; recovery after high conflict relationships; and life or career transitions. She works with people who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating significant change, and who are looking to better understand themselves and move forward with clarity.
Approach: Lisa believes that feeling supported, seen and heard creates the conditions for real change. She takes the time to get to know you and works at a pace that feels right, exploring what you would like to shift or understand more clearly.
Her approach is collaborative and adaptable, drawing on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Somatic Experiencing. Lisa focuses on helping you build insight, develop practical tools, and create change that feels realistic and sustainable.
Perspective: Lisa believes that effective therapy involves making sense of both past and present experiences. She views challenges as something that can be understood and worked through, rather than something that defines you.
She supports you to clarify what matters to you, set meaningful goals, and explore ways of moving toward them that feel manageable. Lisa aims to create a space where you feel comfortable to explore your experiences openly and move forward with greater confidence and direction.

Important Notice
There are some people that our counsellors can’t work with – not because we don’t want to, but because we want you to have the best possible care.
If you currently experience domestic violence, are having a mental health crisis, are experiencing severe substance dependency issues, or other acute crises, we can’t provide you with the level of support you deserve. However, we will use your initial appointment to connect you with places that specialise in these issues, so you can get the best possible care.
All Rough Patch counsellors manage their own scheduling and administration. Click on a profile below to read more and send an email enquiry. In the rare event you don’t hear from a counsellor within 24 hours, please call us on 02 7226 0809
All of our counsellors generously reduce their usual fees to provide affordable mental healthcare to our community. They do not receive government rebates or funding to provide their services.
