About Lisa Taylor

I’ve always been fascinated by people, what shapes us, why we respond the way we do, and what sits beneath the behaviour others see.

I began my career as a teacher, but it was my own life that changed the direction of my work. When my mum died unexpectedly, I was raising three young children and trying to navigate grief, parenting, working and the pressure of holding everything together.

I wanted to understand not only what was happening around me, but what was happening within me.

That search led me to Family and Systemic Therapy and a much deeper understanding of how our relationships and experiences shape the way we respond to ourselves and one another.

It changed the way I parented, the way I worked and, ultimately, the way I understood people. That understanding became the foundation of Rewriting Heartprints™and my book, The Perfect Parent Trap.

Today, as a family therapist, thought leader, author and speaker, I bring more than 25 years of experience to my work with organisations, schools and families.

The settings may change – from boardrooms to classrooms to kitchen tables – but the work is always the same: helping people understand themselves and one another more deeply.

My hope is simple: that more people experience what becomes possible when they feel truly understood, and learn to offer that same understanding to the people around them.
