Lisa Agosti
Mental Wellness Consultant
CBT-focused clinical psychology approach
This space brings together the three passions that have shaped my personal journey and my approach to mental wellness.
Psychology
Psychology has been my first love since my early teens.
I hold a 5-year degree in Clinical Psychology with a Cognitive Behavioral focus, along with an Advanced Diploma in Dual Diagnosis (Concurrent Disorders).
Over the years, I have continued expanding my knowledge through additional studies and professional training in coaching, counseling, nutrition, gut-brain connection, holistic and energy healing. I believe mental wellness is deeply connected to the mind, body, and the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
Over the years, my professional path has taken me across different cultures, communities, and life experiences. Working and living internationally has deepened my understanding of human behavior, resilience, identity, and emotional wellbeing — and it continues to shape the compassionate, non-judgmental approach I bring to every one-on-one consultation.
Travel
Travel has been my greatest teacher.
With my backpack as a constant companion, I’ve explored more than 30 countries — staying three days in some places and three years in others.
I left pieces of my heart in many corners of the world: in Italy, where I was born and raised; in England, where I found incredible colleagues and growth opportunities; in Brazil, where I was embraced like family; in Australia, where I learned the importance of joy and playfulness; in Honduras, where I met my partner; and in Canada, where I am now raising my daughter.
These experiences taught me how deeply our environments, cultures, and relationships influence our mental and emotional wellbeing.
Learning
Learning is at the core of who I am.
You’ll rarely find me without a book nearby. Reading and writing are more than hobbies for me — they are grounding practices that calm my nervous system, nurture reflection, and create space for growth.
Curiosity, freedom, empathy, and lifelong learning are the values that guide both my life and my work.
And you? Have you ever paused to define your core values?
"Lisa has been an incredible support for me over the past two years.
When we began working together, I was having an emotional struggle.
I was lost with my relationship, my job and finding my place in the world.
Lisa’s kind, gentle, and directive support has been a real life line.
She helped me access my own truth. She was never pushy or overbearing with her approach.
I always felt an immense amount of support and guidance.
Lisa is a Counsellor who does not project any judgement. I felt like I could be very open and honest, which was key is resolving my inner turmoil. Her professionalism and confidentiality gave me a lot of faith in her.
Lisa was also really good and holding me accountable- especially when it came to my relationship to my partner, my family, and most importantly, myself. She gave me really good advice and readings about setting healthy boundaries, reframing, and self love. As a female, I felt nurtured, loved and seen.
Lisa helped me through an incredibly difficult period of my life. I’m forever grateful I had such a wonderful counsellor in my ball court."
