More about Lisa
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a wife, mother, grandmother and dog owner (among other things!). I was first introduced to counselling over 20 years ago and, having found it to be a transformative, empowering experience for myself, am passionate about supporting others to navigate and overcome their own challenges.
My core training was with Petruska Clarkson’s Integrative Psychotherapy, with emphasis on the importance of the therapeutic relationship and fostering an environment of safety, empathy and warmth and I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
