14/11/25 - A quiet milestone: I’m now an Accredited Registrant with NCPS. Thank you for being part of this journey
Meet Lisa
I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in Counselling and offer online therapy to adults throughout the UK. I’m an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is grounded in ethical care, emotional safety and the belief that meaningful change begins with being truly heard. Alongside my private practice, I’m a mother, home educator, carer, and volunteer counsellor — roles that shape how I understand the pressures of everyday life and the often-overlooked need to care for ourselves.
​You’re welcome to view my NCPS Accredited Register profile for verification and reassurance.
How I work
My approach is grounded in person-centred values: empathy, honesty, and respect. I offer a non-judgemental space where you feel safe enough to explore, feel heard enough to reflect, and feel supported enough to grow. Sessions are paced by you, and together we’ll make sense of what matters most — whether you're navigating loss, uncertainty, the pressure of holding it all together, or simply the need to be understood. Read more about my approach to therapy.
Evening & weekend sessions
I offer evening and weekend sessions to make therapy more accessible for those whose lives are already full. This availability reflects both my own commitments and my belief that counselling should meet you where you are — not ask you to rearrange your world to fit it.
Rooted in experience
I have experienced trauma, abuse, loss, despair, and the isolating weight of shame. I've known the kind of emotional pain that brings you to your knees - and I've learned how to rise again. These experiences shape not only how I listen but how I create a safe therapeutic space – with tenderness, patience, and deep respect for the courage it takes to speak the unthinkable aloud. Whilst they once felt unbearable, these experiences have become part of the ground I stand on — informing not just my empathy, but my resilience.​
A safe ethical space
​A member of the BACP and NCPS, I am committed to safe, ethical and compassionate practice and take great care to protect your privacy, including compliance with GDPR.
A Space for You
I believe in our innate capacity to endure and, in time, to overcome even the most profound suffering. In our darkest moments, something within us turns instinctively toward the faintest glimmer of light. This movement is not always graceful. We may adopt coping mechanisms that seem maladaptive or self-defeating, yet these are often the very strategies that have enabled our survival. ​
​
My practice is grounded in human connection. I offer a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and emotional safety — a space where you can reflect, express, and simply be. There are no tasks, no homework, no expectations to perform or explain. Just conversation. Just presence. Just a room held open for you to explore yourself in ways that cannot always be done with friends or family, however well-intentioned. In therapy, there is no need to compare, advise, or redirect. There is only listening. And there is something quietly powerful in hearing your own words reflected back to you — uninterrupted, unjudged, and deeply heard.
​
You are invited to lead the process in whatever way feels right: through words, silence, music, art, or any form of expression that emerges in the moment. I strive to create a calm, responsive environment that honours your pace and process. My role is not to fix but to witness — to walk alongside, to hold space, and to trust in your capacity to find your own way forward.
