Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals and notice progress between sessions. Lisa also uses Client-Centred Therapy to ensure the person leads the pace and focus of work.
Hypnotherapy is available as an option for people who find guided relaxation useful alongside talking work. The combination lets her adapt to what each person needs. She has seven years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown as a professional credential.
Sessions are offered online in a format that fits different lives. Lisa welcomes people who prefer to work remotely and will discuss the best way to proceed. When someone first reaches out she will help them set goals and plan next steps.
The emphasis is on practical coping, clearer thinking and small changes that build over time.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to test new ways of responding; it is helpful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive worries. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work and helps people move at a pace that feels right to them.She may also offer Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals and track small improvements between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters to the person, and try methods that fit their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit sessions around work or caring commitments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
