Prior to becoming a counsellor, Lisa worked in the field of education for over thirty years. This included working in schools, aid and development projects and within universities in Australia, Canada, South East Asia and the Balkans. Her commitment to her own lifelong healing and learning  along with her passion for supporting others with theirs is what led her into the field of counselling and psychotherapy. Her experience of a diverse range of cultures, perspectives and ways of knowing and being greatly informs her personal and professional world view. As well as being a counsellor, Lisa teaches Yin Yoga and facilitates Courage and Renewal weekend and day retreats. The common thread that weaves its way through her work and life is the importance of relationship to self, others and the world around us. To this end when Lisa is not working she enjoys time to be still, time with friends and family and time in nature.
