Lisa Studdert

Lisa keeps sessions calm and practical so people can start feeling better in day-to-day life. She developed skills in emergency mental health care, which helped her stay steady with people in crisis.

That experience informs how she stays present and grounded when things feel overwhelming. Lisa uses a mix of approaches and matches them to what each person needs rather than offering one fixed method.

Her practice often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and ADHD. Lisa also gives attention to attachment wounds, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems.

She works with dissociation, codependency, and forgiveness when those issues come up in therapy. In sessions she tends to blend person-centred listening with attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build practical skills for regulation, thought patterns and behaviour change. The aim is to help people feel understood and to find steps that fit their life.

Lisa emphasises pacing, gentleness and collaboration. She respects neurodiversity and avoids pressuring people to “mask.”

The focus is on making steady, meaningful changes that are achievable between sessions.
