Lissy is passionate about...

Helping people thrive.

She is a leading psychotherapist who has dedicated her career to helping her clients navigate life’s obstacles and challenges.

When we just don’t feel right, for whatever reason, we can feel sad, anxious, or frightened. Lissy believes we all have the capacity to improve our lives, whether it’s our own mental wellbeing, or our work or home life. We just need the right knowledge and skills. Lissy helps her clients not just get back on track but also to flourish.

Lissy studied psychology in Sydney and then completed her Masters of Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the internationally renowned Tavistock Relationships, London. Here, she worked therapeutically with couples, as well as lectured and tutored trainee counsellors. She also had an independent therapy practice.

She has held positions on the Tavistock Relationships Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors, and was Vice President of the Couple, Child, and Family Psychotherapy Association of Australasia. Lissy is part of Mamamia’s health expert panel.

Lissy founded and runs a Sydney-based therapy clinic, Heath Group Practice, and works therapeutically with clients here and around the world. Her successful online course ‘Fight Less, Love More’ explores the real reasons why couples fight, provides guided activities for participants to identify why they are having difficulty communicating, and teaches the vital skills needed to break repeated cycles of conflict. She is also the author of Relationship Reset and has published academically.
