Lisa Russo, PACFA

Lisa Russo is a clinical counsellor and support worker credentialed in Australia with over 10 years of experience helping women navigate difficult life chapters. She operates as an independent contractor and leads her private practice, Indy Support Services, offering compassionate, client-centered counselling informed by a range of therapeutic approaches. Lisa holds PACFA credentials - PACFA is the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - reflecting professional recognition in the Australian counselling field.

She specialises in supporting women facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, trauma, and recovery after domestic abuse. Her work focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where personal stories can be explored and understood. Through that collaborative process she helps clients build resilience, strengthen confidence, and pursue a more fulfilling life.

In session, Lisa and her clients develop practical strategies to manage emotions, cope with transitions, and address patterns that impede wellbeing. She seeks to empower each person to progress at their own pace, using tools and approaches suited to individual needs. Taking the first step can feel daunting; Lisa’s approach is intended to guide and support people as they reclaim strength, confidence, and a greater sense of calm.
