Background and approach
Lisa listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps clients notice options they might not see on their own. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to break unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas guide work around closeness, trust and relationship habits.
Sessions focus on learning small skills that make daily life easier and more manageable. Lisa keeps sessions collaborative. She helps clients set simple goals and practices to try between meetings.
The work may include learning emotion regulation skills, shifting rigid behaviours, or rebuilding trust in relationships. With ten years' experience, Lisa adapts the pace to each person. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start, helping clients build routines and tools they can rely on when stress rises again.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that match those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when old habits keep getting in the way of a meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce worry and lift mood. This is often helpful for stress, anxiety and mood disorders.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It can help people understand triggers around closeness, abandonment and trust, and work toward more satisfying connections.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Lisa will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy days. Video suits deeper, face-to-face conversations, while phone or shorter chat messages can fit a work break or a quick check-in. Text-based options let clients keep a thread of thoughts and practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with an appropriately qualified therapist.
