Sydney socialite and lifestyle blogger Lisa Stockbridge is facing at least two years and five months in jail for peddling cocaine and ecstasy out of her 4WD.

The 43-year-old was sentenced on Thursday in the Sydney District Court after pleading guilty to several charges relating to the supply of cocaine and other drugs.

She wept and hugged two female supporters before being led into custody.

During her sentence hearing last month, Stockbridge had asked to be sentenced under an intensive corrections order, which would allow her to serve jail time in the community.

She said she had begun dealing drugs to repay a debt taken on to support her ailing business, was suffering from depression and was using drugs.

Reports from psychologist Tim Watson-Munro were tendered but these were slammed by Judge Peter Whitford.

"The apparent attempts in Mr Watson-Munro's evidence to portray the offender as having been a weak, psychologically compromised drug addict at the time of offending beggar belief," he said.

"The offender's illicit business was pursued purely for financial gain."

Stockbridge will be eligible for parole on May 29, 2017.
