About
Lisa Studdert is a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming counsellor practising in Australia. She holds the ACA credential and a Bachelor of Counselling (completed 2026), and brings five years of clinical experience that includes work in emergency mental health care. That background informs a calm, steady presence when supporting people through moments of crisis.
Her approach is shaped by several evidence-based methods and by an emphasis on tailoring each plan to what the person wants to work on. She draws on somatic work and EMDR alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and attachment-based and client-centered practices. She aims to honour each brain as it is rather than attempting to "fix" it.
Lisa works with a range of presenting concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, family and blended family problems, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, dissociation, and more. She creates an open, non-judgmental space to notice patterns, practice regulation, and develop responses that fit each individual's life.

Remote sessions that integrate body and emotion-focused work
Lisa offers online sessions that combine approaches to address thinking, feeling, and bodily experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clarify values and build flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based work attend to relational patterns and emotional bonding in couples and family contexts.
Somatic-informed practices and EMDR are included when addressing trauma and bodily-held responses; these methods are paced to each person's readiness and aim to support regulation and processing without re-exposure. Her person-centered stance means sessions are collaborative: goals and techniques are shaped together so the work fits how a person prefers to learn and grow.
Online modalities available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing adaptation to different communication needs and preferences.
