Lisa Kirk, BACP

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on four years of professional experience helping people who are facing relationship stress, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety and low mood. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and to help them reconnect with themselves.

Her way of working is practical and person-focused. She adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs. That might mean slower exploration of difficult memories or shorter, goal-focused conversations about coping and safety. Lisa pays attention to how someone’s day-to-day life affects their feelings and choices.

She uses client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the heart of the work. That approach helps with issues such as self-esteem, body image, and relationship difficulties by creating a steady space to talk and reflect. Motivational interviewing is also part of her practice and is used to support change, for example with eating, sleeping or managing long-term health challenges.

Lisa has supported people dealing with parenting stress, career pressures, chronic illness and complex emotional responses like abandonment and attachment difficulties. She also works with people exploring non‑normative sexual cultures and kink-related questions. Her background includes helping with coping after disasters and with co-morbid conditions.

People who want to begin can expect a collaborative process. Lisa will listen, help set realistic goals and revise plans as needed. The focus is on practical steps that fit everyday life and build on what already works for the person.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person make sense of feelings. This approach can support issues like self‑esteem, attachment worries and relationship problems by creating a steady, accepting space to talk.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on the factors that help someone make changes they want. It uses open questions and collaborative planning to build motivation for things like changing sleep or eating habits, or managing long‑term health concerns. It is practical and goal-orientated without pushing a single path.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will check in about goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt techniques as the relationship develops. Clients help shape the focus and pace of sessions so the plan fits their life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility limits. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and make attending sessions from different locations simpler. Registered and accredited professionals often offer this flexibility to help therapy fit into everyday routines rather than requiring major changes.
