Lisa Stephens

- Specialist Relationship Counsellor - 

Lisa is a specialist relationship counsellor who works with individuals and couples to build stronger, more connected relationships—whether with a partner, family member, or colleague. She knows firsthand how painful it feels to be distant from the people who matter most, and how isolating it can be when communication breaks down.

Drawing on Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Lisa offers a gentle yet structured approach that helps people make sense of their emotions, navigate conflict with care, and feel truly heard and understood. She supports clients in breaking free from unhelpful patterns, fostering closeness, trust, and deeper intimacy. EFT is an evidence-based method proven to create lasting change—something Lisa not only practices but has personally experienced as a client.

Her work is also informed by systemic and psychodynamic approaches, allowing her to adapt therapy to each client’s needs. Lisa welcomes all people aged 18+, including LGBTIQ individuals and couples.

In addition, Lisa provides Pre-Commitment Education using Prepare/Enrich, the gold standard in relationship enrichment. As an accredited facilitator, she helps couples explore values, strengths, and differences through engaging discussions and reflective exercises. This process offers powerful insights into relationship dynamics, paving the way for growth and long-term fulfilment.

Lisa is a member of PACFA and Melbourne EFT.
