Lisa Kirk

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential. She describes a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to help people who are carrying difficult feelings or facing relationship strain. Lisa presents therapy as a collaborative process that starts with a single step. She has around four years of experience working with issues such as relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. She also lists a wide range of other concerns she supports, including stress, sleep and eating struggles, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and questions around intimacy and identity. In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and adjusting the conversation to what each person needs. That means working at the client’s pace, naming workable goals, and checking in about what helps most. Her stated style is grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion. Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as part of her approach. Those methods centre the person’s experience and help people find their own reasons and motivation for change. She will shape the plan around individual needs rather than applying a fixed protocol. Taking the first step can feel hard and she aims to make that step easier. People who want a calm, steady listener who helps them clarify next steps may find her approach useful. Prospective clients should follow the site process to match with her and set up an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental listening space where the person’s own experience leads the work. It is useful for relationship strain, low mood, grief and identity questions because it helps people feel heard and understand their own feelings.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make changes. It uses straightforward conversation to explore ambivalence, set small goals and build confidence for things like shifting routines, managing stress or making lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work together with each person to decide which method or combination makes most sense for their goals and situation. She adapts her way of working based on what the person prefers and what seems most useful in early sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time and keeping appointments that match work or caregiving schedules. Online work can also simplify shorter check-ins when circumstances call for a brief conversation. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
