Background and approach

That approach is useful when people are coping with life changes, parenting pressures, work stress, or complex trauma and abuse issues. Lisa brings six years of practice experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often known as EMDR, alongside solution-focused techniques when they suit the person’s goals.

She has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment injuries, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She has also worked with people experiencing domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic relationships. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

International clients may be supported and appointments in the evening are possible by request. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How her approaches work online

Lisa uses a person-centred approach that puts the client at the centre of the session. This means conversations are led by the client and the counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting the client to find their own way forward. It is helpful for people who want a gentle, paced process.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, which uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside talking to help process traumatic memories and intense emotional experiences. Many people use EMDR for trauma, abuse, or deeply distressing events when they are ready to work on those memories.

Solution-focused work is used to identify small, practical changes and goals. This approach concentrates on what the client wants to achieve and builds on existing strengths rather than focusing only on problems.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and together decide what fits best with goals, needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
