Our Story
The Founding Directors
Being passionate Psychologists, wanting to engage with people in therapy that is truly helpful and enriching, Lianne and Gwenda started working together in private practice more than 20 years ago. Out of friendship, mutual respect , deep professional commitment and excitement in the transformative possibilities of our work, grew The LifeWise Centre, where compassion, growth and healing are both prized and practised. More psychologists, caring support staff, then psychiatrists and a paediatrician have since joined us to create a dynamic, person-centred team.
The LifeWise Centre now….
Our Centre is much more than a business developed for our livelihood. It is in many ways, an extension of ourselves, a place of insight and growth as we have built relationships and shared skills and knowledge in therapy with many people from across the Hunter Valley and beyond.
We are still committed to the belief that every person is “gold” - of great value, having within them the possibility of an enriched, nourishing life, the promise of a positive future.
When finding a way forward is a struggle, The LifeWise Centre offers a warm and inviting space where you can bring your true self and with skilled, compassionate professionals, develop ways to move towards a future you can be proud of.
We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners & Custodians of the Lands on which we work and live.
