Meet Lisa - Counsellor in Grimsby & Online
Hi, I'm Lisa - a person-centred counsellor offering warm, grounded support for adults who want a quiet space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. I work online across the UK and face‑to‑face from my therapy room in central Grimsby, supporting people locally in Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and the wider North East Lincolnshire area.
My Approach as a
Person-Centred Therapist
My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert in your own life. As a person‑centred counsellor working in Grimsby and online across the UK, I won't analyse you, direct you, or tell you what you "should" do. Instead, I offer a calm, confidential space where you can explore whatever feels heavy, confusing, or tangled at your own pace.
I bring curiosity, compassion, and gentle challenge when it's helpful. Together, we can look at the patterns you've learned, the emotions you're carrying, and the parts of yourself that might feel unheard or overlooked. My aim is to help you feel more connected, more understood, and more able to move through life with clarity and steadiness.
Why This Work
Matters to Me
My interest in counselling is rooted in my own experiences of pain, uncertainty, and feeling lost at times in my life. I know what it's like to carry things quietly, to feel overwhelmed, or to not quite recognise yourself. Those experiences shaped the way I show up in the therapy room - with steadiness, compassion, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to speak your truth. While your story is uniquely yours, my own journey helps me meet you with genuine understanding and without judgement. If you’d like to know more about how I support clients, you’re welcome to explore my Working Together page.
What Guides My Practice
I believe in our innate capacity to endure and, in time, to move through even the most profound suffering. In our darkest moments, something within us still turns instinctively toward the faintest glimmer of light. That movement isn't always graceful. We may rely on coping strategies that look unhelpful from the outside, yet they are often the very things that have enabled our survivial.
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 pressure to perform or explain. Just conversation. Just presence. A room held open for you to explore yourself in ways that aren't always possible 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. This is the heart of my counselling work here in Grimsby and in my online sessions across the UK.
You are invited to lead the process in whatever way feels right: through words, silence, music, art, or any form of expression that honours your pace and process. My role is not to fix but to witness - to walk alongside you, to hold space, and to trust in your capacity to find your own way forward.
