Leisa Petri

Leisa Petri is a registered counsellor and member of the Australian Counselling Association. Her counselling approach has been shaped by postgraduate counselling training and professional experience across counselling, therapeutic intervention and family support settings. Through this work, she came to understand how our relationships, life experiences and the meaning we make of them influence how we feel about ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we respond to life's challenges. She works with adults and couples navigating emotional and relationship challenges.

Guided by this understanding, Leisa provides a highly supportive counselling experience where you feel heard and understood. Through open conversations and thoughtful reflection, she works alongside you to better understand the experiences, relationships and patterns that may be influencing your life today. Together, you can develop greater self-understanding, discover new ways of responding, and move towards a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling to you.

Grounded in Person-Centred, Trauma-Informed and Attachment-Informed principles, Leisa integrates Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, thoughtfully drawing on these approaches to meet each client where they are.
