About me
Hi there, my name is Lisa Ann and I am a qualified, creative integrative counsellor, and walk and talk therapist, registered with the BACP.
I understand how difficult it can be to make the first steps, to reaching out and getting some help. Also, how challenging it can be to find the right counsellor. My position as a counsellor is not to tell you what to do. My role is to respectively try and help you find the best possible solutions that will aid you, on your journey of healing. Please get in touch, for a free consultation, let us have a chat, and see if I can help you.
I do this by providing a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, and empathic space. Where you as the client are free to be yourself. I am a integrative counsellor, meaning I draw from different modalities (theories) such as CBT, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Pluralistic.
I do like to work collaboratively with clients as I believe we are all different.
I offer face to face, 50 minute sessions within the consulting rooms, Glasgow. I can also provide 50 minute sessions online via a platform called Teams.
I also offer walk and talk, 60 or 90 minute sessions, conducted in nature. If you wish to be held in nature, with no expectations, please get in touch for more details.
I understand how challenging life and personal circumstances can be and sometimes we need some external support. I have background lived experiences in sexual abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, and depression.
My lived experiences help me to be more empathic and open minded towards my clients. Also, I too went on my own personal healing journey in therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have excellent counselling experience, knowledge and skills. Achieved throughout my training, and practice. I have completed and achieved my HNC and HND in Counselling. As well as a PDA in Addictions and Business.
I am also trained in Ecotherapy: Walk & Talk therapy.
My previous work experiences and training as a carer and support worker of 7 years has contributed to my clinical quality.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
