Asking for help can be tough, and getting the right support can feel even harder. That’s why Head Knot was created - to make it easier to get help. Being met with empathy and understanding, counselling can help you navigate life’s challenges in a safe space.
Head Knot also makes counselling more accessible with online appointments available after-hours, to anyone in Australia.
Head Knot is especially passionate about reducing the suicide rate in Australia. Head Knot exists to help people access support earlier in life, reducing the risk of crisis later on.

About Head Knot
Meet Lisa
I started Head Knot to make it easier for people to get support for their mental health. It’s not always easy to realise when you’re not feeling right, so I came up with the idea of calling mental and emotional challenges “head knots.”
We all know what it’s like to feel tight or sore when our body has knots, maybe from stress, bad posture, or pushing ourselves too hard. But our minds can get knots too, and they can cause real pain - mentally, emotionally, and even physically.
As an integrative counsellor I incorporate a range of counselling and psychological approaches alongside person-centred therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them find the best way forward.
The modalities I use include:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
I don’t believe there’s a single ‘right’ way to support people. Everyone is different, so I adapt my approach to suit each individual. By drawing on a combination of the above modalities, I create a personalised therapeutic experience tailored to what works best for my clients.
My ultimate goal is to equip my clients with the ability to understand and untangle their head knots to create lasting change and build a more fulfilling life.
