Dr Lisa Morgan
Clinical Psychologist
BA (York), MPsyc, PhD (Melb) MAPS Clinical College Fellow
Lisa is a Clinical Psychologist based in Brisbane who has trained and worked in both the public and private mental health systems in Canada, the UK, and Australia. She began her studies and work in Canada and finished her clinical training at the University of Melbourne in 2005, PhD in 2008, and PostGrad Diploma in Perinatal Mental Health in 2025 (including contributions to the program content development and ongoing provision of clinical supervision to supervisees undergoing study).
Lisa has over 25 years of experience working in general and women’s mental health with a particular emphasis on perinatal disorders/adjustment issues (including multiple births and carer’s issues, such as the diagnosis of a child) and has received dedicated training and supervision in the delivery of treatment for eating disorders, although this is no longer her main focus.
Lisa’s therapeutic and supervision style is based on attachment and neuropsychological-based theories and encourages the exploration of personal values, as well as emphasises self-acceptance and the development of values-driven goals. Only evidence-based psychological treatment methods are used in her approach to therapy and supervision, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement and Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
Lisa’s supervision style is humanistic in nature with an emphasis on reflective practice as foundational in the perinatal space.
Lisa is an inaugural member of the Parenting with Disability Group for Gidget Foundation Australia and is passionate about neurodiversity, particularly during the perinatal period.
Lisa spends her leisure time with her three children as they enter early adulthood and exploring the outdoors in her sea kayak.

Dr Lisa Gusciora
Clinical Psychologist
BSc (Hons), MSc, DClinPsych
Lisa is a psychologist who holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has over 11 years of experience working with children, families and adults. Lisa has worked in hospital and community settings in the NHS, England. She has worked in paediatric psychology and child mental health, working directly to support child-parent relationships. However, in recent years her focus has been on private practice working with parents, infants and toddlers during the perinatal period.
Lisa understands the vulnerability in asking for help and aims to work collaboratively with you, bringing warmth and compassion to the therapeutic space. She is passionate about supporting families during preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and the early parenting years.
Lisa is particularly interested in supporting clients through pregnancy and the transition to parenthood, understanding this can be an anxious time for many. She also enjoys working with clients who experience birth trauma, postnatal depression and anxiety, including general anxiety, intrusive thoughts and perinatal OCD.
Lisa has a special interest in attachment theory, intergenerational trauma and enjoys working with clients who wish to explore family of origin patterns, relational trauma and the impact this has on one’s own parenting. As a Circle of Security Facilitator, Lisa aims to gently support clients in developing connected, attuned and joyful relationships with their children. She enjoys encouraging parents to understand and meet their child’s emotional needs, while helping parents to recover from their own childhood experiences. Lisa has also completed the Becoming Us training with Elly Taylor which focuses on the couple relationship in the perinatal period.
Lisa works collaboratively with clients to meet their specific needs and goals, drawing on various evidence-based models to inform her therapeutic approach. This includes Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, and Mindfulness-based Exposure and Response Prevention (OCD). Attachment theory is always at the centre of Lisa’s approach. She aims not only to reduce parental distress but also to strengthen relationships and promote the well-being of all family members by ‘holding’ the mother, father and baby in mind.
