About me and my therapy practice

Hi I am Lisa, a MÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ fully qualified Person-Centered Counsellor - With a background in working with trauma, mindfulness and meditation, nutrition and 18+ years as a fitness professional.

 I am able to offer you a wide range of knowledge and support. I pursued my passion as a counsellor because I wanted to continue to support others, not just through trauma and it's impacts, but other issues too such as addiction, bereavement, domestic violence, PTSD, trauma, depression, relationship problems, anxiety and suicidal ideation/attempts.

I am a qualified counsellor in the modalities of:

Person Centered Counselling (PCT)

Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Rewind Therapy

Adult Trauma focused therapy

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Trauma Informed Exercise Professional

I have my own private practice and I am employed as an Assessment Officer & Counsellor offering support to adults, young people  who have been affected by sexual violence.


Practice description

Life can be tough, filled with challenges which have helped to build your character, but it may also be such experiences which have led you to seek counselling support.

Through guidance and support, in a safe space free from judgement or external influences, you will be able to explore whatever you choose, at a pace comfortable for you, around issues and experiences you wish to share.

Your life experiences, cultural background and upbringing are some of the reasons that make you unique! Therefore, anything you wish to work through in therapy will be tailored specifically to your individual needs. There is a vast range of issues which clients may bring to therapy such as: -

General anxiety, social anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotional, physical or sexual abuse, OCD and Ill health to name but a few. Maybe you are currently feeling stuck, unable to share things that have happened, with people close to you.

Perhaps you are very self-critical, lack confidence and have low self-esteem, affecting your happiness and relationships. You may be struggling to move on with your life following the loss of a loved one, job, pet or home.

No matter what the problem is, counselling can help you to explore and understand events and relationships past and present. It will enable you to process anything which is preventing you from being happy, enabling you to come to terms with, accept or move forward with your life.  Therapy can enable you to reconnect with yourself and allow you to set healthy boundaries to help you connect with others in a healthy way.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist has a deep restorative effect allowing the client to increase self-awareness and self-regulation through emotional resilience.  

I can help clients heal trauma through exercise enabling clients to stay in their window of tolerance to allow them to exercise safely without feeling triggered.


My first session

During the first session I will carry out an in depth assessment. This will identify problems that are causing you pain and unhappiness and areas which I can support you through.
