About Lisa Koole Counselling

Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Holistic Nutritionist
Hi, I’m Lisa…
Therapy is an incredibly personal undertaking and it’s important that you find the correct therapist for you.
So, let’s get to know each other!
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Health and Nutrition Counselor and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities and approaches to achieving wellness and wellbeing in body, mind, and spirit. I honor the role of the physical body in emotional wellness and recognize that sleep, physical activity, and nutrition have a bidirectional relationship with wellbeing.
My Journey
My career in mental health and addictions began in hospital and outpatient settings, where I worked with individuals facing complex challenges. These experiences taught me compassion, patience, and the importance of addressing the whole person, not just symptoms.
Over time, the emotional intensity of the work led to burnout and illness. I needed to pause and focus on healing, which helped me understand firsthand the importance of self-compassion, boundaries, and nervous system regulation. From that period of recovery, my private practice was born. Creating my own practice allowed me to support others while maintaining balance and living the values I encourage my clients to embrace.
My Approach
I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, emotional eating, and weight loss using an integrative mind-body approach. I love this work because it is about more than diet or willpower. It is about building a healthy relationship with yourself and your body.
By combining psychotherapy and holistic nutrition, I help clients:
Develop emotional awareness and resilience
Build sustainable eating habits that support energy and mood
Create a balanced lifestyle that promotes both physical and emotional health
This integrated approach helps clients make lasting, meaningful changes that align with how they want to feel: grounded, confident, and at peace in their bodies.
Personal Life
I am a wife, mother of two adult children, and a proud dog mom. When I am not seeing clients, you will often find me walking outdoors, working out, cooking nourishing meals, reading a good book, or unwinding with reality TV.
My approach is client-centered and trauma informed, drawing on a variety of therapeutic approaches to create a customized & collaborative treatment plan for the individuals I work with.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviours and thoughts by challenging and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs.
CBT for Weightloss and Maintenance focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors related to eating, physical activity, and body image. It helps individuals develop healthier habits, set realistic goals, and build coping strategies to maintain weight loss over time.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress. EFT focuses on the development of emotional intelligence and awareness.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) has a strong educational component designed to provide skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a type of CBT found to be effective for treating those who are “stuck” in their thoughts about trauma.
Self Compassion and Emotional Resilience helps clients to foster a more resilient and positive self-relationship, promoting emotional well-being and reducing negative self-judgment.
Heartmath® Certified Practitioner empowers people to self-regulate their emotions and behaviours to reduce stress, increase resilience, and unlock their natural intuitive guidance for making more effective choices.
Professional Addictions Studies Diploma provides evidence-based interventions, understand the complexities of addiction, and promote recovery and well-being for their client.
I create a safe, comfortable and compassionate space to share and explore your feelings and experiences.
