I was so pleasantly surprised with how comfortable I felt talking to Lisa. She’s so lovely, really listens and encourages me to think about things from different perspectives. I feel totally seen and better after just 2 sessions with her. I’d highly recommend Lisa.

Hello, I'm Lisa. I am an Integrative Counsellor and an Accredited member of the BACP with 7 years experience in private practice. I draw on different theories and approaches depending on what you need from our time together. I place an important emphasis on the quality of the relationship between the two of us. I follow your lead and pace, what is important to you, what do you feel they need to address, what has worked before, and what works now.
I may use some psychoeducational diagrams, and in a session I may encourage you to engage in some creative exercises to help explore your experience at a deeper level.
I have a keen interest and knowledge of neuroscience, which I incorporate into my work with clients. I find this a particularly powerful way of helping my clients understand how they came to be who they are, how they respond to things, and that neuroplasticity allows for the potential of real change.
I specialise in bereavement and trauma related bereavement, Infant loss, life changing events, anxiety and depression.
I would describe myself as a caring and compassionate counsellor, and ready to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

An extremely empathetic and understanding human being. The world needs more like her.
I was very skeptical about restarting therapy as I haven’t always found it the most helpful, but I have been working with Lisa for a few weeks now and every time I’m trying to discuss something she sees through what I’m trying to explain and helps me to understand why I am feeling the way that I am. I have found working with her very rewarding and she also puts me at ease to speak freely and comfortably about anything. I would strongly recommend her to any one in need of a very good therapist.
