Lisa Brinton, AASW

Lisa Brinton is a compassionate counsellor who supports people through life’s challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and emotions. She focuses on helping clients process both past and present trauma and on navigating the effects of societal pressures that can shape mental health and wellbeing.

She works with individuals facing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, and work-related stress. Many of her clients seek help for emotional struggles linked to childhood experiences, personal setbacks, and expectations imposed by society. Lisa takes a collaborative approach, helping people deepen their understanding of emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and improve overall wellbeing.

Using evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), she supports clients in managing symptoms and building resilience. These approaches aim to interrupt unhelpful thought patterns, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional regulation. Across sessions clients are offered practical tools to support mental health, increase self-awareness, and foster more satisfying relationships.

Lisa treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs. She acknowledges the courage it takes to seek change and is committed to supporting and empowering clients through that journey. She holds AASW, a credential indicating membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers.
