About me
Hi, I'm Lisa...
Perhaps you've spent so long getting through each day that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly feel at ease.
You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that keep repeating, or finding yourself overthinking everything. Perhaps relationships feel difficult, you're constantly putting other people's needs before your own, or you've reached a point where you know something needs to change but aren't sure where to begin.
Whatever has brought you here, you're welcome exactly as you are.
Many of the people I work with believe they should be coping better, or that their struggles aren’t serious enough to ask for support. They often find themselves stuck in familiar patterns such as people pleasing, self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, or putting everyone else's needs before their own.
Sometimes having a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported can make all the difference.
As a Psychotherapist in Advanced Training, I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's going on beneath the surface. My role isn't to tell you what to do or to try and fix you. Instead, we work together to understand your experiences, make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, and create the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.
People often come to therapy with me because they are experiencing:
- Men's mental health and emotional wellbeing
- Trauma and the lasting impact of difficult experiences
- Anxiety, overthinking, and chronic stress
- Burnout and workplace pressures
- Relationship and attachment difficulties
- Emotionally unavailable or unfulfilling relationships
- Low self-worth and regular self-criticism
- People pleasing and difficulty saying no
- Stress and pressure from being the one who always copes
- Feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of who they are anymore
I have a particular interest in helping people navigate the many forms of loss we encounter throughout life, including bereavement, grief, relationship endings, redundancy, changes in identity, and other significant life events.
How I work...
My approach is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA) Psychotherapy, an evidence-based and relational approach that helps us understand how early experiences influence the way we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others today.
Therapy is not about blame or endlessly revisiting the past. It's about understanding your story with compassion, recognising patterns that may no longer serve you, and creating new possibilities for the future.
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I bring over 30 years of experience working in people-focused roles, supporting individuals through challenge, change, and personal growth. This gives me a deep appreciation of the pressures people face in both their personal and professional lives.
Getting Started...
Taking the first step can often feel like the hardest part.
That's why I offer a free 20-minute consultation call. It's an opportunity for us to talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and whether I feel like the right fit for you. There is no obligation and no pressure to continue afterwards.
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start exactly where you are.
Sessions are available in person if you are local to the Herefordshire area and online, if you are further a field or prefer the flexibility of remote sessions.
