About me
I am a fully qualified counsellor with over 10 years of experience helping people with various issues including anxiety, depression, feelings of sadness, trauma, abuse, ADHD, low confidence and self-esteem, loss, relationship problems and stress.
Do you find that you behaviours, responses and ways of being hold you back from living the life you want? Perhaps you are struggling with your mental health and finding life tough or challenging right now?
I provide online therapy using a combination of psychological and coaching techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and conflict management.
"I started seeing Lisa because things were just not working out in life. I was anxious, depressed and not sleeping. I couldn’t cope with anything; life was just too much. Lisa listened, gave me the space to talk, helped me to see things from a new perspective and gave me the tools I needed to actually live my life." Matt
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for my clients where they can be themselves and speak their truth. A space in which we can discuss challenges, traumas, hopes and dreams, in fact anything at all. You can read more client testimonials further down the page.
I will support you as you make sustainable changes that will transform your life. Please contact me to start your journey. You can call or text me on 07957 122 032 or send me an email here.

Experience
With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, I have been privileged enough to work with a diverse range of people and a diverse range of issues. I have worked privately, as part of bigger organisations, as a counselling tutor and as a volunteer for a number of charities. Having seen first-hand the transformational nature of therapy in my clients lives, I can’t help but love what I do.
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
I was born in South Africa, raised in the UK, and have worked in London, Hong Kong, Dubai and Amsterdam. A question that I am often asked is… who is therapy for? My answer to this question is always everyone. Everyone can benefit from therapy. From those struggling with their mental health to those wanting to improve themselves through self-development. That’s why I provide bespoke therapy that’s tailored to your needs.
What my clients say
Lisa's caring presence and thoughtful guidance made me feel safe enough to be able to open up to discuss and work through issues in a productive way.
Gracie - Writer & Creative

Working with Lisa is the best self-development investment I have ever made. My relationships improved, my communication improved, I found my path in life and the confidence to pursue it. I’m happier, more relaxed and less stress thanks to my sessions with Lisa.
Hiram - Business Owner
--
I’ve struggled in life ever since I was a teenager. Lost, I used alcohol, drugs, food and self-harm as my coping mechanisms. I tried so many times to find help but just couldn’t seem to kick my bad habits. It was only when I met Lisa that I started to change and to make better choices for myself. She literally changed my life, and I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me.
Ellie - Musician
--
Lisa has an innate ability to listen and to get to the root of any issues one is struggling with.
Maike - Teacher
--
Her experience with various cross-cultural and socio-economic backgrounds was invaluable during our sessions and I felt I could discuss anything with her in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
Maryam - Accountant
--
I was able to work through grief and other challenges in a way that was meaningful for me and for the first time in many years, I felt truly seen and heard.
