Lisa Brown

Hey, I’m Lisa, a registered Psychologist.

I’m big on you feeling comfortable and safe to share in our online space together. I take my time to learn about your life and what’s brought you here, so that we can develop a tailored approach to meet your therapy needs.

Clients often describe me as empathetic, kind, attentive and I sprinkle some laughter throughout our sessions.

I am committed to a person-centred approach, which means I value your unique experiences and trust in your inner capacity to grow. I meet you in vulnerability, whether you’re experiencing stress, navigating family relationship dynamics, maybe you’re in the thick of motherhood or maybe you are wanting to build your confidence.

I offer a completely non-judgemental space for us to explore what matters most to you.

What I can help with:

• I’m passionate about women’s health (chronic illness, perinatal space)
• Big life stressors – work stress, life transitions, decision making
• Experiences of anxiety
• Family dynamics and relationships
• Building confidence and developing assertiveness
• Vulnerability and empowerment
• People-pleasing
• Working with trauma
• Working with feelings of depression

Fees: 

Initial assessment 80 minutes: $307.5 ($208.55 after Medicare rebate)

What about when I’m not with clients? 

My favourite things to do are hanging out with family or friends trying out new cafes, shopping, and going to the park. I love to play the piano and sing. If it’s a rainy day I will definitely be inside enjoying some of my favourite movies or tv shows.

I look forward to supporting you!
