Hello, I’m Lisa. I’m an online counsellor, life coach and clinical supervisor, offering a warm, steady space where you can pause and explore what is happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you.
I spent 15 years working in the NHS. When my health meant I could no longer continue, I still wanted to care for people. Having had counselling myself, I know how much it helps to be heard. Counselling felt like a natural way to give something back.
How I work
I am a Certified Integrated Counsellor, which means I draw on more than one approach, rather than fitting you into one method. My training includes cognitive behavioural therapy, anxiety management, depression counselling, anger management, NLP and life and performance coaching.
Some people come for counselling, to make sense of difficult feelings. Others want coaching, with a clearer focus on goals and next steps. Many find a mix of both helps.

I am a Fellow of ACCPH, and I keep my learning up to date through regular CPD.
Supporting fellow practitioners
I also offer clinical supervision to counsellors and other helping professionals, drawing on my experience and following ACCPH guidelines. My learning includes NHS Learning Hub training in supervising counselling, supervising practice, and using outcome and process measures in supervision.
My approach includes the restorative, formative and normative parts of supervision. That means a space to look after yourself, to keep learning, and to keep your practice safe and ethical.
