About Lisa
Lisa Studdert is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with five years of experience. She trained in counselling and has worked in emergency mental health settings, so she stays calm with people in distress and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Lisa uses a person-centred style and pays attention to how attachment and emotions show up in everyday life.
She respects neurodiversity and avoids pressuring people to change who they are.
Background and approach
Her approach is gentle and paced to the individual's needs. Her work often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also assists those coping with trauma and abuse, and she commonly helps people who identify with ADHD or autism to manage focus, memory and emotions in ways that fit their experience.
Sessions can include somatic practices and EMDR alongside methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Lisa aims for clear skills people can try between appointments and for emotional understanding that reduces painful patterns.
She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment wounds, abandonment and codependency, and to life stressors such as chronic illness, caregiver strain and blended family concerns. The work is collaborative, with goals set together and progress reviewed regularly.
People who feel overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or want a calmer relationship with their emotions will find a straightforward, compassionate style with Lisa. She focuses on practical coping, emotional safety and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety, helping people change repeating relationship responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to pick methods that suit each person's needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques as trust and understanding develop over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper work and face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing support between appointments. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
