How I Work
I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to tailor sessions to your individual needs, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) for shifting thought patterns and supporting values-based living
Somatic therapy and awareness for healing, trauma processing, and reconnecting with the body
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and humanistic / client-centred counselling for deeper awareness and growth
Psychodynamic counselling and interpersonal therapy for exploring relationships, past experiences, and their impact today
Alongside this, I integrate many practical skills for managing stress, regulating emotions, improving communication, and building resilience.
How I can Support you
I have particular interest in supporting clients with:
Anxiety, stress & overwhelm
Relationship patterns & communication
Self-worth, boundaries & people-pleasing
Perfectionism & inner critic
Childhood/family conditioning
Life transitions & feeling stuck
Building self-trust & emotional regulation
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) related challenges
No matter what brings you to counselling, my aim is to embody a warm, authentic approach and provide a space where you feel safe, accepted, and gently supported in moving forward.
What clients are saying
I learned more about myself and how to do inner work with her than the other professionals I have tried. I'm in a clearer head space but more importantly, I learned to be present, vulnerable and discerning.
I have become the version of myself unafraid to just be. That was only possible because I felt heard, seen and safe in the space that Lisa opens for her clients.
I started seeing Lisa in mid-2020 during the Covid pandemic after having some major struggles with my mental health. I had trialled other counsellors before her, but after our first meeting, I knew straight off the bat—her counsel is exactly what I needed. In our first session, Lisa was incredibly thorough in explaining the possible causes of mental health problems as well as giving me a checklist to make sure there weren't any physical or other causes for my challenges. She has since helped me through therapy, which I just consider in a lot of ways doing exercises and having long conversations with someone I would have considered a friend.
Over the two years, she has helped me get to the bottom of my mental health challenges. she has helped piece my story together.
Her shared resources, countless exercises and tools have made my journey more successful. I know she is heavily invested in seeing me succeed, and that genuine concern translates into how she conducts her business in every way, sometimes even keeping it flexible so that she can be reached.
I have personally experienced tremendous growth and stability in my emotional and mental health since I have been seeing Lisa. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help.
