A holistic, depth-oriented approach to lasting transformation
Awareness Work has developed over more than 30 years by psychotherapist Lisa Darveniza. It is a structured, progressive, communication-based therapeutic process designed to create lasting change through compassionate self-awareness and the gentle resolution of core emotional wounding, offering a holistic approach to psychotherapy and personal transformation.
A Simple But Profound Foundation
At the heart of Awareness Work is a simple yet profound understanding: beneath our conditioning lies a natural state of clarity, resilience, and inherent goodness. Over time, protective patterns form in response to early experiences and life’s challenges. While these patterns once served a purpose, they can begin to limit how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us.
How Change Occurs
Awareness Work creates the conditions for these patterns to be seen clearly and met with understanding. As unconscious dynamics become conscious and emotional wounds are gently resolved, a more authentic and grounded way of being begins to emerge. Change is not forced; rather, it unfolds organically through deep awareness, insight, and integration.
Awareness Work is deeply holistic. As it unfolds, individuals often experience a return to a natural sense of order — an inner coherence that reconnects them with themselves and the deeper intelligence of life.
We’re carrying individual trauma, relationship trauma, and inter-generational trauma – without the community, elders or structure humans relied on for thousands of years.
This is why many therapies don’t bring lasting change.
They address pieces of the problem, not the whole picture.
Your suffering isn’t a sign of failure.
It’s a sign that the tools you’ve been given simply weren’t enough.
Everything in this program has been developed over 25+ years of working with thousands of people and synthesising the most effective therapeutic, holistic and somatic healing principles from Western and Eastern paradigms. Estimated to be the equivalent results of three to four years of individual therapy.
This is the pathway out of long-term suffering.
If accepted, we will carefully support you through the next cohort.

A DEEPLY INTEGRATED BODY OF WORK
Awareness Work is informed by psychotherapy, depth psychology, somatic awareness, Eastern philosophy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and eco-psychology. Its foundations were shaped through a decade of dedicated apprenticeship and training with some of the world’s leading therapists and thought leaders, living within diverse cultures, alongside extensive academic and professional study. Over more than 20 years of private clinical practice, and 12,000+ hours of one-on-one therapy, these influences have been carefully distilled into a clear, structured, and deeply effective therapeutic process.

Meet the Teacher and Founder
Lisa Darveniza
(MCouns & AppPsychoth)
Counsellor & Psychotherapist | Growth Work Teacher & Group Facilitator | Founder of Awareness Work
This highly effective program was created by acclaimed psychotherapist and founder of Awareness Work, Lisa Darveniza, who has spent 25 years investigating and trialling the most powerful therapeutic methods to help clients move through habitual difficulties, trauma, and long-held limitations.
Through decades of study and practice, Lisa discovered that only 5% of what she learned was truly transformative. It is this distilled and highly effective 5% – refined through hundreds of clients and thousands of hours in the therapy room – that forms the foundation of The 6 Month Therapy Course.
Lisa spent nearly a decade on a full-time global pilgrimage, apprenticing with leading therapists and teachers across Western, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions. She holds a Master of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy and seamlessly weaves together her academic training, global study, and over 12,000 individual therapy sessions in private practice.
Alongside her exceptional team of facilitators and qualified therapists, Lisa offers compassionate, grounded, and deeply skilled support – guiding participants through the profound inner work that finally reaches the roots of life-long patterns.
What Our Participants Say?
Trudie - CEO
“Of all the work I have done in my 30 years of self-development, this has been the most impactful – it created real and lasting change. I navigated my divorce with love and compassion, without the conflict I once thought inevitable, and my relationships with my three daughters have reached a new depth of connection and understanding. I have rediscovered a genuine love for leading my business and my team of 20+, where before there was burnout and overwhelm. I have learned to acknowledge and lean into my feelings – even the most difficult ones – and I’ve found that joy can coexist with life’s obstacles, losses, and challenges. For the first time in a long time, I feel excitement and gratitude for the present and the future.”

“This course helped me dig into the difficult experiences that created my most challenging negative beliefs and patterns, and the therapeutic processes far exceeded my expectations. My self-worth has been restored in a way I didn’t realise was possible.”

Chelsea - Birth Consultant, Energy & Body Worker
“The 6 Month Therapy Course allowed me to be with the parts of myself that had caused great pain with gentleness, safety, and stability – leading to real freedom in my life. It revealed what was not mine to carry, gave me a greater connection to myself, and allowed me to hold compassion and kindness for where others are at. I felt safe enough to reveal parts of me that had remained hidden and finally allowed my true self to shine. I met myself for the first time and began a celebration of my life. I walk away knowing what is not mine, and with a powerful can-do attitude.”

"This course is a life changing experience. It doesn’t matter how far along you are or think you are in self-awareness and personal growth, you will still gain so much from this course. This is proven with the amount of people re-enrolling for the second third or even fourth time. It was my first experience doing the course and it was by far the most tangible thing I have done in terms of self-growth and awareness. I’ve tried many things and although I knew them intellectually, I struggled to make the change. Lisa and the course facilitators delivered the vast knowledge and concepts so beautifully! I personally have integrated so much positive change in my life. I have managed to break a lot of old patterns and it happens almost with ease. The container is held so beautifully and creates a safe space to go deep. I highly recommend this course."

Jodie Busch - Self Employed
Although I could tell you that I’ve had a good life with some great experiences, I couldn't shake the mental fog that had crept into my life and was affecting my relationships with my friends and family. I was on auto pilot. But if you asked me what was wrong, I couldn't tell you.
I have been seeing psychologists and psychiatrists for years... But the fog remained.
This course has been so transformative for me and my family. The safe space created by this group therapy process allowed me to unlock hurt and trauma pushed so far down, and for so long that i never even knew it was affecting me. I was able to dismantle long held beliefs about myself that were destructive to myself and my relationships.
In 6 short months, I am lighter. I can love freely. And I know I am loved. I have forgiven myself and forgiven others. I am finally awake.
I am so grateful to Lisa and the team for having this experience. It truly has changed me, and I am so thankful for the support and safe space for me to grow and be the person that I always was.
I encourage everyone to invest the time, effort, and money into themselves by doing this course.

Erica Dibden – CEO and Owner
I have just completed the 6 Month Therapy Course with Lisa and her team at Awareness Work.
I have not engaged in work this deep before. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, I have gone inside myself, explored what truly makes me feel aligned. I return to my everyday reality with a kernel of truth sitting in my heart, offering me rare insights into who I am and who is the other looking back at me. I have a feeling of connectedness to self and others that I feel will stay with me, to guide me though the challenges that I know I must face, challenges that will help me to grow and flourish in this lifetime. The ripples of awareness flow out past the self to others in your life, it is a gift to self and others in your life.
I can honestly recommend taking this course, to honour your true self with the time and introspection that we all deserve.
