About Liisa

Liisa Hiltunen is a PACFA counsellor with more than 20 years helping people find direction and balance. She combines counselling and coaching skills to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. Liisa writes plainly and works practically, offering tools and conversation that aim to make day-to-day life easier.

She draws on a background that includes a Master’s in Counselling and a Master’s in Business Coaching, plus a Bachelor of Fine Arts in design. That mix means sessions can include structured goal-setting, creative problem-solving and attention to values and meaning as well as emotional work. Liisa often helps people who are juggling leadership roles, caregiving responsibilities or major life transitions.

Her approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. She uses evidence-informed methods and practical skills such as SMART goals and design-thinking to help people move from stuckness to clearer steps. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas are woven in for people who find them useful.

Liisa has worked across many countries and brings experience with relocation, cultural adjustment and identity shifts. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, blended family issues, body image, grief, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Sessions are delivered in English from Australia. The focus is on helping the person who comes to therapy get clearer about values, make workable plans and build coping strategies that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Liisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that match their values; this approach suits people wrestling with anxiety, avoidance or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections, which can help when communication or trust are strained. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and collaboration, giving people space to set the pace and focus of sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Liisa works together with each person to decide what methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adapting over time to find what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Appropriately qualified therapists will tailor pace and tools to make remote sessions practical and focused on real-world change.
