Meet Leisa Roder
A Vision for Human Potential
Leisa’s journey into psychology was driven by a profound desire to inspire people to live to their full potential and cultivate deep, meaningful connections. What sets her apart is her commitment to a holistic natural therapy model—an approach that recognises the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in achieving optimal wellbeing.
This philosophy reflects her belief that true healing and growth occur when we address the whole person, not just isolated symptoms or concerns. Leisa’s approach invites clients to explore their authentic selves and discover the rich, fulfilling life that awaits when we align with our deepest values and potential.

Leisa brings a unique combination of qualifications to her practice, having graduated with her Bachelor of Psychology from Central Queensland University in 2001. Her diverse educational background also includes a Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management and a Certificate of Fitness III, reflecting her multifaceted understanding of human behaviour, organisational dynamics, and physical wellbeing.
This varied educational foundation allows Leisa to understand her clients from multiple perspectives, whether they’re navigating personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or seeking to optimise their overall life satisfaction and performance.
Specialised Training and Therapeutic Approaches
Leisa’s commitment to providing comprehensive, evidence-based care is evident in her extensive specialised training. She has pursued advanced certifications in several powerful therapeutic modalities:
- EMDR Therapy – This evidence-based approach helps individuals process traumatic experiences and emotional disturbances, allowing for natural healing and integration.
- Schema Therapy – A integrative approach that addresses deeply rooted patterns and beliefs, helping clients understand and transform long-standing emotional and behavioural patterns.
- Advanced Herbalism – Reflecting her holistic approach, this training allows Leisa to understand the role of natural remedies in supporting mental health and overall wellbeing.
- Circle of Security – A relationship-focused intervention that helps individuals understand attachment patterns and develop healthier ways of connecting with others.
This diverse toolkit enables Leisa to tailor her approach to each client’s unique needs, drawing from various modalities to create a personalised path to healing and growth.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
Leisa’s therapeutic philosophy centres on the belief that sustainable change comes from addressing the whole person within their natural environment. Her holistic natural therapy model recognises that mental health is intimately connected to physical health, relationships, environment, and spiritual wellbeing.
She works with clients to identify and remove barriers to their full potential, whether these are limiting beliefs, unresolved trauma, relationship patterns, or disconnection from their authentic selves. Her approach empowers individuals to create lasting change by working with their natural capacity for healing and growth.
Life Connected to Nature
Leisa’s personal life beautifully reflects her holistic philosophy. She runs her own farm, striving to be self-sufficient with food and deeply connected to nature. This hands-on relationship with the land and natural cycles informs her understanding of natural healing processes and sustainable living.
When she’s not working with clients or tending to her farm, Leisa enjoys staying active through gym workouts, beach visits, and long walks. These activities not only maintain her physical health but also provide the grounding and renewal that enable her to bring her best self to her therapeutic work.
Her lifestyle demonstrates the integration of mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing that she encourages in her clients—showing that it’s possible to live in harmony with both our inner nature and the natural world around us.
