About Lisa
Lisa Studdert is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia who combines emotional focus with practical tools. She brings five years of experience and a background in emergency mental health care, which helps her stay steady with people during stressful moments. Lisa aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable, not overwhelming.
Her approach is person-centred and attachment-based, with Emotionally-Focused Therapy among the methods she uses. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to work on, with a focus on feelings, relationships, and day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when those fit the work. Lisa pays attention to how the body and mind connect, and she uses somatic ideas to help people notice physical reactions.
For those with trauma histories she moves at a pace the client chooses and places emphasis on safety and pacing rather than forcing memories or emotions. She welcomes people who find anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD or attachment issues draining. Lisa also supports those dealing with chronic health conditions, caregiver stress, family-of-origin problems, codependency, and communication breakdowns.
Her work includes helping people understand patterns and try new ways of responding. Therapy with Lisa tends to be straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then suggests simple, practical steps to try between sessions.
The goal is usually clearer emotional awareness and skills that fit everyday life.

Online support
How emotionally focused and ACT work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions that drive relationship patterns and internal cycles. Online EFT sessions guide people to feel and describe emotions clearly so they can try new responses in daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values. In remote sessions ACT tools include simple exercises to practice between appointments to build more flexible behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or want ongoing notes between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping a consistent process of reflection and practice.
