About Me

My name is Lisa Carton, a registered counsellor with Bachelor's in Counselling and a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I offer individual and couple counselling in-person and online. In a complex, uncertain, and ever-changing environment, it is more important than ever to have people who can listen intently and objectively.

Therapy is an intense, focused relationship that involves attachment, unconditional positive regard, attunement, tolerance and active listening. To work with individuals or couples who want to take care of their mental health, I draw on a variety of backgrounds, including self-compassion understanding, psychodynamic theory, attachment, mentalisation, object relation, couples and family system theory, behavioural therapy, trauma-informed care and management of co-occurring addiction and mental health conditions.

My area of interest includes mental health wellbeing, working with loneliness in older adults, relationship difficulties and addiction issues aiming to address and arm you with skills to be in charge of your addiction.

As a therapist, I support people who are facing difficulty with life phases or relationships that form part of our human condition. Please gently walk with me as I assist in an environment of trust to encourage you to be kinder to yourself, promote self-awareness, and be less critical. The main objective is to encourage people to communicate more effectively.
