Accredited Mental Health Social Worker 

Co-Facilitator & Clinical Lead

With over a decade of experience in public mental health, Lisa is dedicated to helping individuals find meaningful insights and the skills to live the life they want.

Lisa specialises in emotion dysregulation and rejection-based trauma. She is deeply committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces—particularly for the LGBTQIA+ community—and believes therapy must consider the social context of a person’s life to truly empower them to challenge old patterns. She is passionate about ensuring that the skills learned in the group are not just "concepts in a book," but are translated into practical tools that actually change your daily life.

In her spare time, Lisa enjoys spending time with her adult children and quality time with friends

  Consumer Peer Support Clinician

 Co-Facilitator & Lived Experience Lead

 Jess brings a vital perspective to the CORE DBT team: the view from the inside. As a Consumer Peer Support Clinician, Jess utilizes her own lived experience of mental health recovery to walk alongside participants with empathy and true understanding.

Jess’s role is to bridge the gap between "clinical" and "human." She helps reduce the shame often associated with mental health diagnoses and demonstrates that recovery is not only possible—it’s happening. Her presence ensures that our group remains a non-judgmental, validation-focused space.

In her spare time, you'll likely find Jess running after her energetic two-year-old son, spending time with friends and family, or playing cricket.
