Lisa Simmons, Psychotherapist and Life Coach

About me

I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Life Coach offering a friendly, empathetic and confidential service. My sessions (which don't have to be on a weekly basis) are £40.00 for one hour and I offer day time and evening appointments plus Saturdays.

I cannot thank Lisa or recommend her highly enough.  Her patience, understanding, honesty and professionalism together with her lack of judgement helped me reach a place where I could truly start to understand why I was going through depression and anxiety… Lisa probably doesn’t even know herself how much I value her or that I think she is one of the best people I have had the fortune to meet! Through her understanding and abilities in counselling, Lisa helped me work through my problems and regain a strength of mind that I thought I had lost.  Not only am I through the depression and anxiety but I also have a renewed vigour for life and a deeper connection with my spiritual side.  Opening up to a stranger wasn’t easy but what I have achieved by doing so has been so worth it.


I have been helping people make changes in themselves and their lives for over 15 years. Having gone through this myself I feel passionately about helping others to make changes, understand things and improve their lives and well being when ever possible. Beginning therapy is a scary thing to do but it can also be a very rewarding process when you begin to feel better about yourself and the situation. Please do not suffer no matter how small or big your think the problem or issues may be, getting help is a really positive move. My therapy sessions are friendly, understanding and without judgement. They last for an hour at my home which is quiet, secure and completely confidential.

Depending on what your are experiencing therapy does not have to be done weekly and I often see my clients on a fortnightly basis and some times even monthly. Depending on how much support you need for what you are going through, sessions can be agreed on a personal basis.

I have different skills to use to help you, such as CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) which helps you change negative thoughts and behaviours into positive ones. Psychodynamic therapy where we go back through your life and look at things that have happened which might be affecting your thoughts and behaviours in the present. Person centred therapy which I use to listen and understand how you are feeling and what you have gone through so I can fully understand your situation. Often having the chance to just talk about ourselves is very powerful and helpful to understand what we ourselves are going through. We don't often take the opportunity to understand ourselves in our busy daily lives. Life coaching is also a great therapy as we can look at ways to implement changes in all areas of your life to maximise the positive outcome that therapy can offer. Often small changes in different areas can have a very positive and helpful result.
