Lisa Shetler

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting people of all ages to improve their quality of life. I value honesty, compassion, sustainability and community. My clients describe my therapeutic style as relaxed, genuine, often humorous and deeply caring. I am a clinically endorsed psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency, Board Approved Supervisor, and visiting lecturer in the field of child psychology.

I am an internationally recognised teacher trainer of the Mindful Self-Compassion program for teens and young adults. I am trained in EMDR Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Attachment and a range of Cognitive and Behavioural approaches including ACT and DBT.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked in acute child, adolescent and family settings, education setting as well as in private practice, supporting a diverse range of clients. I have led teams of mental health and counselling practitioners and continue to train and supervise psychology trainees, self-compassion trainees and early career therapists, with a particular passion for helping them achieve sustainable work-life balance. I am the Director and Principal Clinical Psychologist of Flow Psychology & Therapeutic Services, a sister practice to Embrace that supports children, young people and families. Through Embrace I get to pursue my passion of providing safe and compassionate, trauma informed therapy to adult clients. In bringing together EMDR and Yoga Therapy, my genuine desire is that you feel seen, heard and held. 

I am the author of two books: Mastering Your Mental Health In Middle School and A Hand On Your Heart - a children's story about self-compassion. Outside of work, I am a foster carer and avid advocate and supporter of other carers and kiddos in care. I love to bake, I love to sing, I love yoga and I love a bottomless cup of tea with friends.
