Lisa Alexander Hauff

It's so nice to meet you.

I am a professional counsellor based in outback Queensland with my husband and two young daughters. We split our time between town, and a 25,000 acre property where my extended family run Hereford cattle.

I am also a registered teacher with over 15 years of experience in Australia and the United Kingdom. Recently, I decided to pivot my career into counselling as I have always had a very keen interest in mental health and wellbeing. My therapeutic approach is humanistic - I want to help you develop a stronger and healthier sense of self.

I am approachable and professional - I will make your wellbeing my priority.
