About me
Hi. I’m Lisa and I’m hoping you might like me to be your counsellor.
So, let me tell you a bit about me so you can get a feel for how our sessions could look. I am a qualified counsellor, specialising in rape, sexual abuse or assault and domestic abuse. Often when clients first come to me it can feel uncomfortable or shameful to talk about such topics, this is why I work in an open-ended way. This means you can have as many sessions as you like to explore these topics, there is no rush or pressure we can do it at your own pace and I will be right alongside with you. Sometimes with the shame that comes from our sexual mistreatment we can feel totally isolated, but in therapy that is not the case. I aim to offer my clients a place to bring your messiest, darkest, most vulnerable self without fear of judgement. I want to help guide you back to you.
Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in children’s services for over 10 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with many different communities and families. I have worked with those experiencing difficult family relationships, anxiety, depression and adverse childhood experiences. This has helped me to be trauma informed and non-judgemental. I am also trained as a therapeutic life story worker, meaning that I have tools to help explore the past and how it is impacting your day-to-day life.
I am qualified in integrative therapeutic counselling. What this means for you, as my client is that I will use methods from counselling theories, in my work with you. Experience has taught me that different people need different tools, resources and approaches and I am able to be adaptable.
I set up Mosaic Therapy Services with the idea of helping people to accept all pieces of themselves and bringing those pieces together to create something uniquely beautiful. I believe that every experience that we’ve had and every person in our lives has influenced who we are and I believe that by exploring these influences we can reunite with our true selves and have a chance to choose who we are becoming.

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.
