About me
Hello my name is Lisa Mackenzie, and I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor offering face to face therapy sessions within Amersham, Buckinghamshire, as well as online therapy for those further afield.
There can be times in our life when our thoughts, feelings or behaviour may feel overwhelming or distressing. You may be struggling with difficult emotions about yourself, your relationships, or how you experience the world.
I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where we can explore what has brought you to counselling and how we can work together towards meaningful change.
Please feel free to explore my website www.greentulipcounselling.co.uk to learn more about me, my experience and the services that I offer.
The green tulip symbolises new beginnings and hope, which reflects the heart of my practice.
If you have any questions or would like explore if counselling is right for you, I invite you to book a free 15-minute introductory session via phone or on zoom, with no obligation.
I am committed to providing a welcoming and affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds and identities and I am mindful how diversity and difference can have an impact on our lived experiences.

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.

Further information
As part of my training, I have experienced my own personal counselling, which has helped me to understand how powerful it can be to have a safe space where you are truly heard. This personal journey has shaped the way I work, ensuring that I offer my clients a supportive, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked within a range of industries, including hospitality, motorsport and education. These diverse experiences have enriched my understanding of people and how we are all unique individuals.
