About me
Hi. I’m Lisa and I’m hoping you might like me to be your counsellor.
Sometimes feelings can feel a bit too much to handle on your own, sometimes we don’t know where life is headed, sometimes the everyday can seem monotonous or overwhelming. These were some of the reasons I ended up in counselling when I first went. I might seem biased, but counselling was integral in me feeling better. I needed a place where I felt ok to bring my darkest, most vulnerable self without fear of judgement. Now, this is what I aim to offer my clients. 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, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, assault or rape 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 Person Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis 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.
