Ms Lisa Laba Sarkis

Counselor

“A professional, experienced Counsellor, Therapist and Social Worker working with individuals, couples and families.”

About Me

Lisa Laba Sarkis, an experienced Counsellor, Therapist, and Social Worker, helps individuals, couples, and families navigate life's complexities. She offers a calm, supportive space where clients can explore challenges and discover new ways forward. Sessions focus on understanding unique dynamics and building practical strategies. Her professional yet human approach helps clients find clarity and strengthen connections, fostering resilience for lasting well-being.

Approach

Work with clients unfolds through focused, collaborative sessions that balance gentle curiosity with practical skill-building and clear goals. I offer appointments in Sydney and online, and work in English and Arabic to suit how people prefer to connect. Sessions move at a steady, paced rhythm—safety and assessment inform trauma-aware conversations, we practice coping strategies and relationship skills, and small tasks between meetings help translate insight into daily change. This approach tends to suit young people, adults, partners and family members seeking clarity and stronger connections.
