About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of professional experience to her practice and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or family concerns. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping clients reconnect with their own strengths.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then tailors conversations to each person's needs.
Background and approach
That might mean gently exploring past hurts, working on coping strategies for daily anxiety, or talking through how a life change has affected mood and routines. Lisa uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and stick with goals.
These approaches suit practical problems such as sleep, eating, anger and parenting strain, as well as longer-standing issues like trauma or attachment concerns. She has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar mood changes, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and challenges linked to body image or intimacy.
Sessions are adapted to the person in front of her, with clear, realistic steps when helpful. Taking the first step can feel difficult. Lisa aims to make the next steps manageable.
She works with each person to set achievable goals and review progress along the way.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. The aim is to create a space where someone can talk openly about worries such as anxiety, grief or relationship stress and feel genuinely heard. Motivational Interviewing is a focused way of helping people find their own reasons to change. It works well for goals like improving sleep, managing mood swings or making steady behaviour changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan according to what helps most. That collaborative process means treatment can change as needs become clearer over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or speaking feels easier. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, paced reflections or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
