About me
Hello, thank you for looking at my profile. I know firsthand how hard it is to seek help when you’re are going through a tough time. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, have you lost a loved one, are struggling in the work place or have a relationship issue? I am here to listen and make you feel heard without judgement. Opening up to someone new may feel daunting I have been there myself but I will always offer a safe and compassionate environment so that you feel comfortable with me, and trust me to help you go forward in your life and help build you a better future. You have taken the decision to get help, you are here, you do not have to deal with life's challenges alone. Together we will explore what is going on in your life and either work towards acceptance or to make changes that you want to make for a more empowered and fulfilling life.
"Asking for help isn't giving up" said the horse. "It's refusing to give up." (from one of my favourite books - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy
I offer online, telephone and face to face sessions. My therapy room is in my home. If you have any allergies please be aware that I have a cat and dog and while they would love to be in the room with us they are kept out of the way.
Some kind words from previous clients:
K - "I’ve worked with Lisa over the last six weeks to focus on my relationships with members of my family who suffer from addiction. I’d never done any kind of therapy before, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but Lisa made me feel so comfortable and safe right from our very first session. She immediately made me feel so at ease which allowed me to open up and speak freely throughout the course of our time together - she’s an excellent listener and very perceptive, picking up on the likes of body language to get to the root of how you’re really feeling. I’ve gained so much from working with Lisa and have learnt a lot about myself. I really can’t thank her enough for how she’s helped me process my emotions, validate my feelings and come to peace with my situation. Lisa’s completely changed my life for the better. I would highly recommend Lisa if you’re looking for a kind, empathetic, effective, non-judgemental and supportive therapist to guide you through whatever you’re dealing with. I just can’t fault her. She’s been absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for everything, Lisa."
KH- "I would just like to say thank you for the time you have spent with you in my sessions to work out my ball of spaghetti in my mind . We talked through a lot of things that I had carried as a burden for a long time. The weight that I felt has been lifted from my shoulders and having a better thought process is helping me work through the challenges that arise. I know that the being open with H on the pressure that I carry help me immense."

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 offer a free telephone consultation which can take 20-30 minutes. We can start to get to know each other a little and talk about what you need from our work together. If you would like to continue to work together we will book in our first session. However, it is important that you find the right counsellor for you, the therapeutic relationship is what makes therapy successful so if you feel that we are not the right fit then there is no obligation to work with me after the introduction.
