About me
I support adults who feel like they don't quite fit into the world around them.
Whether you are neurodivergent (diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or questioning), a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, or navigating the long-term impact of past trauma or difficult relationships, I am here to help you breathe a sigh of relief.
Many of the people I work with come to me feeling completely drained, always on edge, or carrying a deep, heavy sense of shame that they just can’t shake on their own.
You might be experiencing a level of deep exhaustion that sleep alone cannot fix. Perhaps you have learned to rely entirely on yourself to stay safe, feeling like you have to carry everything alone because trusting others feels too risky.
Often, these patterns start back when we are young. You might have learned early on that you had to hide your true thoughts, needs, or identity just to keep the peace or feel accepted. Over time, trying to keep everyone else happy can leave you with overwhelming anxiety, a loud inner critic, or a total disconnect from who you actually are.
Hi, I’m Lisa Fox (She/Her). As a down-to-earth, Accredited Member of the BACP (MBACP Accred), I provide a warm, conversational, and deeply human space to talk. I don't sit in silence nodding clinically or offering textbook answers. I bring my full, authentic self into the room with you so we can figure things out together.
This means our sessions feel like an honest conversation, paced entirely by you.
Between us, we will build a safe, judgment-free space where every single part of you is welcome, including the parts you have hidden away, felt ashamed of, or been told are "too much." My practice is explicitly neurodivergent-affirming. This means we work with how your brain naturally works, rather than trying to "fix" you or force you to hide who you are.
I also provide a safe and celebratory space for the LGBTQIA+ community, where your identity is respected from day one, without you ever needing to explain or defend it.
If you are recovering from past trauma or difficult relationships, our pace will be gentle, keeping you feeling in control. We focus on undoing the absolute exhaustion of putting on a brave face, looking at your coping mechanisms with kindness, and helping you safely get back in touch with your real self.
I work both online and in person from my office at Edwinstowe House, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire (NG21 9PR). Sessions are available Tuesday to Friday across the UK via Zoom or phone call, so you can speak to me from the comfort of your own safe space.
For face-to-face sessions, my office is easy to get to, with parking for anyone travelling from Mansfield, Edwinstowe, Ollerton, Worksop, and the surrounding areas.
I currently have spaces open for new clients.
Finding the right therapist shouldn’t feel like an exhausting chore or a test you have to pass. I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call so we can chat casually, talk about what you are hoping for, and see if we get along before you commit to anything.
There is no pressure to book a session during the call.
Get in touch by sending me an email and lets arrange a chat.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
