Lisa Johnson Brisbane Psychologist

ABOUT LISA JOHNSON

Hi, I’m Lisa.

Psychologist. Organisational wellbeing consultant. Curious human. Professional dot-connector.

I’ve spent more than 25 years asking one big question:

What actually helps people thrive?

My answer has become increasingly simple:

It’s rarely just one thing. We’re humans with bodies, relationships, families, workplaces, histories, identities, responsibilities and dreams.

All of it matters.

Wellbeing is never just one thing.

It’s about understanding the whole person: mind and body, relationships and environment, work and purpose. Sometimes we need insight, sometimes practical strategies, and sometimes we need to change what’s happening around us.

My approach brings psychology, holistic wellbeing and preventative health together to help people make sense of the whole picture.

WE START WITH YOU

So, what is it like to work with Lisa?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula for wellbeing.

We start with you… what’s happening, what’s changed, what’s getting in the way and what you want to be different.

Depending on what you need, our work might involve:

Understanding
Making sense of your thoughts, emotions, patterns and experiences.

Noticing
Tuning into what your body, nervous system and energy are telling you.

Exploring
Looking at relationships, work, environment, identity and what matters to you.

Building
Developing practical strategies, skills and healthier ways of responding.

Changing
Sometimes the most important change isn’t within you — it’s what’s happening around you.

CURIOUS. COLLABORATIVE. PRACTICAL.

There isn’t a formula. There’s a starting point.

Who I Work With

There are lots of reasons people come to see me.

You might be trying to understand yourself better, navigating a big life change, feeling exhausted, or simply sensing that something isn’t quite working anymore.

I work with:

INDIVIDUALS
Psychology and wellbeing support for stress, burnout, relationships, life transitions and personal growth.

NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE
A strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to understanding your brain, body, energy and environment.

WOMEN & MIDLIFE
Support through changing bodies, identity, relationships, work, energy and purpose.

WORKPLACES & ORGANISATIONS
Psychology-informed support around wellbeing, neurodiversity, DEI, psychological safety, leadership and sustainable performance.

THERE’S NO “RIGHT” REASON TO ASK FOR SUPPORT.
Sometimes you simply know:

“I want things to feel different.”

Asami 6 Element Framework

Introducing my Six Element Wellbeing Framework

Together, we’ll work with my holistic framework that combines the best of East and West to support your wellbeing and ignite your purpose, passion and play.

This framework draws on my 27 years experience as a wellbeing practitioner, my Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and Masters of Organisational Psychology and my extensive use of evidence-based interventions.

Professional

Work satisfaction and fulfilment are supported by confidence, role clarity, work-life balance, development, positive relationships and working in an environment that aligns with your values, strengths and skills.

Social Engagement

Strong social connections, belonging and contributing to your community, workplace or others can strengthen self-worth, identity, support and overall wellbeing.

Psychological

Psychological wellbeing is shaped by your temperament, early experiences, relationships and the different chapters of your life, including education, work and relationships.

Nutritional

Nutritional wellbeing considers both what you eat and the products you use, with whole foods, good gut health and reducing factors that may interfere with digestion supporting overall wellbeing.

Physical

Physical wellbeing includes posture, ergonomics and regular movement, with activity that supports both physical health and emotional wellbeing playing an important role.

Spiritual

Spiritual wellbeing is personal and may involve religious or spiritual beliefs, practices or connections that provide comfort, meaning, belonging and support.

What you can expect from me

WARMTH WITHOUT WAFFLE.

SCIENCE WITHOUT THE JARGON OVERLOAD.

HOLISTIC WITHOUT ABANDONING EVIDENCE.

CHALLENGE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT.

PRACTICAL STRATEGIES WITHOUT A GIANT HOMEWORK LIST.

I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, challenge assumptions when it’s useful, and help you make sense of what’s going on — without trying to squeeze you into a neat little box.

And occasionally…

A LITTLE LAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING SERIOUS.

Because this work can be meaningful and challenging without being heavy all the time.

Warm. Collaborative. Practical. Curious. Human.
