About Lisa
Lisa uses a straightforward approach. She explains what is happening, offers practical skills and talks through steps clients can try between sessions. She blends talking therapies with motivational interviewing and some body-based techniques to help clients respond differently to anxiety and cravings.
Her training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Therapy and Counselling, completed in 2022. While training she carried out two clinical placements, including work with a substance misuse agency and a charity providing long-term therapy for GP-referred clients. That experience shaped her work with addiction and longer-term mental health needs.
Lisa has spent time supporting young adults as a mentor and therapist at the YMCA. She has also undertaken extensive trauma-related work for a rape crisis service, which informs how she approaches safety and pacing in sessions. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists).
Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment according to the therapist's scheduling process.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this work to identify patterns in trust, closeness and jealousy and to practise different responses in day-to-day life.Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's experience and pace, offering empathy and acceptance. In remote sessions this approach lets clients lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies to build understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.
Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between commitments. Some people find video sessions useful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or brief phone-style check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the pace and techniques so the work remains practical and focused on everyday life changes.
