You might be here because...
There is no handbook for life, and you might be here because feels heavier than it should right now. You may be holding a lot together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain inside.
COUNSELLING
Perhaps you're navigating grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, burnout, or a life transition you didn’t choose, but now have to navigate.
COACHING
Or, you're a business professional, expat or business person wanting to discuss topics related to motivation, goal striving,
or professional advancement.
JUST NEED TO TALK
Sometimes it’s not one clear event - just a slow build-up of stress, disconnection, or exhaustion that becomes harder to ignore.
No matter what you're facing,
this is a space to talk, feel heard,
and find a way forward.

PACFA Clinical Level Counsellor
20+ Years of Coaching Experience
How I work
I’m professional, direct, collaborative, empathetic and practical in my approach. I bring real life experience combined with evidence based understanding.
I help you make sense of what's going on, bringing clarity to complex situations and identifying practical next steps.
For personal therapy and counselling, I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed foundation, integrating evidence-based approaches and inner child work where appropriate.
For business, leadership, and professional conversations, I draw
on research, proven methodologies, and real-world case studies
to provide practical insights and effective solutions.
We focus on what matters most right now, making sense of recurring patterns, easing overwhelm, and finding a clear path forward.
Every session is tailored to your needs, supporting you to heal, move forward, and feel stronger in yourself. I am committed to providing thoughtful, compassionate support and will do my best to ensure you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

Areas of Service
I help individuals, couple, business owner, expat, or leader, the foundation of my work remains the same: helping people navigate complexity with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. I provide grounded guidance, practical strategies, and compassionate support to help clients move forward and create meaningful, lasting change.
My services span counselling, business coaching, victim support services, relationship and couples support, and leadership development.
Counselling
Emotional Support and Understanding
Talking things through helps you slow down, untangle what’s going on, and see things more clearly.
I use evidence-based approaches because there is no handbook for life, but there are ways of understanding patterns, thoughts, and emotions that make things easier to navigate.
When you begin to understand yourself differently, life often feels more manageable and less overwhelming.
Coaching
Clarity and Direction
Business Coaching is a structured process with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
It’s designed for people in leadership or high-responsibility roles who need both support and challenge — because decision-making at the top can be isolating, and clarity is harder to find when everything sits with you.
We focus on cutting through complexity, strengthening perspective, and turning pressure into clear, actionable direction.
Victim Services
Trauma Informed Recovery Support
If you have experienced a violent crime in NSW, you may be eligible for funded counselling through Victims Services NSW.
Approved clients can access up to 22 individual counselling sessions with a registered provider at no cost to you.
To access support, you can apply directly through Victims Services NSW. Once approved, you’ll receive a funding approval number that allows you to begin counselling.
If you’re unsure about eligibility or the application process, I can help guide you through the steps.
Couples
Relationship Strengthening
Support for couples who want to improve communication, rebuild connection, or navigate ongoing challenges together.
I help partners slow things down, understand what’s really happening beneath conflict, and create more clarity, respect, and emotional safety in the relationship.
The focus is on practical tools, honest conversation, and rebuilding connection in a grounded, structured way.
Leadership Consulting
C-Suite
Strategic support for senior leaders navigating complexity, change, and high-stakes decisions.
I help C-suite executives strengthen clarity, alignment, and decision-making under pressure, while maintaining stability and focus at the leadership level.
Confidential, grounded, and outcomes-focused support for both leader performance and organisational impact.

About Liisa Hiltunen
I’m a registered clinical counsellor (PACFA) and executive coach with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and professionals across Australia, Europe, and North America.
People come to me when they’re ready for real change - when they want clarity, honest perspective, and a clear way forward, not more of the same.
My approach is direct, grounded, and evidence-based. I help you understand what’s going on, cut through what’s keeping you stuck, and create practical strategies that fit your life.
Alongside my professional training, I bring significant lived experience as an international expat who has navigated major life transitions, loss, and rebuilding life from the ground up more than once.
That combination of clinical expertise and lived experience means you don’t just gain insight, you leave with clarity, direction, and something you can actually use.
The problem is - life doesn't come wth an instruction manual
Thanks Liisa! We appreciate your beautiful work in helping us see this new way.

I feel reassured in our sessions because they confirm what
