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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
