Lisa has been a really kind, grounded presence for me. I am continually grateful for her kind words and affirmations (and her sense of humor) and always come away from our sessions with something to think about. She's great at checking in when heavy issues arise, and I've never felt any pressure to resolve things "her way." She truly lets me take the lead in my own discoveries, which has been very validating!

Hi, I am licensed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. With over 25 years of personal exploration in spirituality, mindfulness, meditation and somatic experiencing, this deeply informs my work.
I have specific experience in supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issue. I work within a polyvagal approach to counselling. which orientates towards fostering feelings of safety and well being.
My approach is person centred, feeling kind, non-judgmental, honest and respectful relationship provides the right conditions, for our innate capacity for healing to thrive. As you explore what's most needed, I'll empathically feel and listen as you share. I'll often guide you to notice physical sensations, thoughts and feelings. As this mindful approach supports your innate ability, to reconnect with the bodies natural healing and integration capacities.
I feel at least one kind and safe relationship is key to support human health. The counselling relationship is one way people can access this kind of therapeutic relationship. For me we are all equal, deserving respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I'll listen to and follow you, as we explore your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in this collaborative process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lisa is excellent. Very pro-active.
I have been working with Lisa for a number of months now and I honestly could not recommend her more. Her open approach to sessions has allowed me explore many topics while identifying trends, habits , actions and allows me to take our 45 min session and carry it throughout my week, each week! I look forward to our sessions each week and I am grateful to have been matched with Lisa.
Very attentive, embodiment-oriented professional with great empathy and understanding . Thank you Lisa!
very helpful leetting me expressing myself and letting me feel safe
