Meet Lisa
Specialising in Relationships/Family difficulties and Clinical Counselling Supervisor
My name is Lisa and I am a qualified couples and family therapist. I do also offer individual appointments especially if the reasons are relational.
One of the common themes that I often recognise when working with more than one person in the therapy room is the lack of or misunderstanding of communication between couples/families/friends or even work colleagues. As people we often assume that the person we are communicating with knows and understands how we are thinking and feeling but this is often not the case and can stop us from having conversations and expressing our thoughts and feelings which in turn can result in communication breakdown and sadly lead to relationship difficulties.
I work systemically which means during the counselling session we would explore all areas of your life including, environment as well as other external and internal factors such as your own values and beliefs.

How I Work
Domestic Abuse/Narcissistic Abuse/Coercive Control
Living with historical domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse or coercive control, no matter how long ago it was, can erode your confidence, sense of reality and emotional safety. You may have learnt to keep the peace, minimise your needs, second-guess yourself or carry guilt and shame that were never yours to hold. Whether the abuse was emotional, psychological, financial or physical, the impact can stay long after the relationship ends – leaving you feeling confused, exhausted, isolated or unsure who you are anymore. Therapy offers a safe, steady and non-judgemental space to piece things together, rebuild self-trust, understand the patterns you’ve survived, and begin to heal. You don’t have to go through this alone. Support is available and you deserve to feel safe, respected and in control of your own life again.
Clinical Supervision
As a Clinical Counselling Supervisor, I provide a reflective, supportive and collaborative space for therapists and trainee counsellors to explore their work safely and confidently.
Supervision with me offers a balance of encouragement, professional challenge and grounding guidance, helping you deepen your clinical thinking, strengthen ethical practice and feel steady in the work you do. Whether you are newly qualified, in training or an experienced practitioner, supervision is a place to develop your skills, process what you hold for clients, and maintain your own wellbeing. My systemic approach allows us to look at both client dynamics and the wider context impacting the therapeutic relationship, ensuring your work remains ethical, effective and inspired.
Pre-trial Therapy
Saturday appointments are available for clients who are victims or witnesses to a crime. My work is client centred, providing emotional support and to help you with your thoughts and feelings, which can be upsetting and leave you feeling unheard and invisible.
I also offer counselling to clients, over 18 years, who have been on Jury Service. Having been on it myself I am aware of what can and cannot be discussed. I am also mindful that being a juror can be unsettling and leave you with a mixture of emotions, including guilt, anger and sadness.
