About Lisa
Lisa works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, ADHD, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also supports people facing grief, career strain, self-esteem struggles and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and chronic pain, among others.
Her approach is person centred, which means listening closely and following the client’s pace. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set practical goals and EMDR for those who wish to address traumatic memories. Lisa balances gentle listening with clear, achievable steps so people leave sessions with something they can try between appointments.
Alongside her private work she counsels young people in alternative education settings and has experience supporting those with additional learning needs. She has worked with people who have experienced domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic relationships.
Evening appointments are available on request. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Step 3
How Lisa uses person centred work, EMDR and solution-focused steps online
Lisa works from a person centred position, which means she listens first and follows what matters most to the client. This approach is about being heard and building trust so people can make their own choices about change.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is used to help people process traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. It aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so they are less disruptive day to day. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and short-term goals to build momentum and coping skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many clients find remote sessions help them maintain regular contact and apply new skills in everyday life.
