I help young professional women across Australia manage anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges using practical, down-to-earth therapy that builds insight and real-life skills. Many of the women I work with are capable and driven, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhelpful patterns. You might overthink decisions or relationships, feel constantly “on edge,” or struggle with boundaries. Together, we explore these patterns and develop practical tools to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

I use EMDR, Schema Therapy, and ACT within a collaborative, evidence-based framework.
Many people who come to me are capable and committed, but something in their internal experience isn't matching how they want to show up. They might be navigating performance pressure in sport, the arts, a professional role, or study. They might be managing anxiety, processing difficult experiences, or noticing patterns that keep getting in the way. This work is for anyone who cares deeply about how they live and what they do. Together we explore what's underneath, build new ways of responding, and develop the psychological capacity to move forward in a way that reflects their values and supports the life they're working towards.

Lisa is a Clinical and Counselling Psychologist who is warm, approachable and has worked with people facing all kinds of difficulties. Lisa enjoys assisting people to close the gap between where they are now and the life they really want. This may involve fostering self-compassion, dismantling a sneaky inner critic or exploring long-held family patterns contributing to people-pleasing and self sacrifice. Lisa assists people who are feeling 'blah' and 'meh' to move towards fulfilled and thriving. This occurs through reconnection to self, sometimes after years of conditioning and "shoulds" from others and society.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognising and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
