About me
Helping you understand yourself with honesty and compassion.
Therapy isn't about becoming someone different. It's about making sense of who you are, how you've come to be here, and discovering a way of living that feels more authentic to you.
Identity, self-understanding and authenticity
Do you ever feel like you're trying to understand yourself?
Perhaps you've spent years feeling different without knowing why. Maybe you've received a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism and are trying to make sense of your life through a new lens. Perhaps you're living with a chronic health condition such as endometriosis, PCOS or PMDD, and you're carrying not only the physical impact but the emotional weight that often comes with it. Or perhaps life has simply left you feeling disconnected from yourself.
Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and become curious about your experience.
I'm Lisa, an integrative counsellor offering a warm, collaborative and thoughtful space where you don't have to have everything figured out. My work isn't about giving advice or telling you who you should become. Instead, I help people develop a deeper understanding of themselves—exploring the patterns, beliefs, relationships and life experiences that have shaped who they are today.
I believe that meaningful change begins with self-understanding. When we can make sense of our experiences with honesty and compassion, we often find that our relationship with ourselves begins to shift. Rather than trying to "fix" what's wrong, therapy becomes a process of discovering what has always been true, what no longer serves you, and what it means to live more authentically.
My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, narrative, existential and Gestalt perspectives, alongside over ten years' experience in holistic healthcare. Every person arrives with a unique story, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Together we'll shape our work around your needs, your pace and what feels most meaningful to you.
Although I work with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship difficulties and workplace stress—I have found that many of the people who seek me out are navigating late-discovered neurodivergence or living with chronic conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS or PMDD. While these experiences may look different on the surface, they often share common themes: learning to understand yourself, questioning old narratives, navigating identity, and finding ways to live with greater self-compassion.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and am continuing my studies with a further diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
My background is in Holistic Healthcare.
I work with clients facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem, and life transitions. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can gain insights, develop coping strategies and build resilience. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and am sensitive to cultural differences, ensuring a respectful and inclusive therapeutic environment for all.
I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of trust and confidentiality. I strive to establish a strong rapport with clients, fostering a genuine connection that encourages open communication and fosters growth.
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.
