Hi, I'm Lisa and I'm a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (bacp).

I understand that reaching out to a counsellor can be a significant step, and it's natural to feel anxious or apprehensive. Please be assured that I will work collaboratively with you to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel as comfortable as possible.

Taking this first step can be the beginning of a journey towards a deeper understanding of yourself. Life can often leave us feeling unhappy, uncertain, or unfulfilled, and it's easy to feel trapped in those emotions. By talking to someone who is fully present and dedicated to your well-being, you can learn and develop healthier coping mechanisms to address the issues that are holding you back and impacting your future.

My first experience as a counsellor was at a large Kent College where I trained on placement and once qualified went on to continue at the college volunteering for a further 2 years. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of this organisation and helping the students manage the things in their lives that were causing them upset and trouble.

I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages, and I find that I connect particularly well with adolescents. My approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship, which I believe is essential for understanding the challenges you're facing and developing effective coping strategies.

My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where you feel empowered to share your concerns openly. Together, we can explore these issues in a way that resonates with you and supports your personal growth.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a session.

The approach I take in my counselling sessions is the Person Centred Approach (PCA), which places you, the client, at the heart of the process. This means that you determine the content and direction of each session, while I actively listen and support you in finding your own solutions.

I make sure you feel relaxed and we will work at your pace, allowing you to explore what's going on for you and I will be here helping you through that process.

I've helped my clients break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life and helped them manage the difficulties they are going through, being there to listen and support them at stressful times.

By being a counsellor you can rely on and feel safe with, I can help you start to look at the difficulties that are filling your head and start to help you make more sense of them.

I believe that people who have space to speak and explore their difficulties have a better chance of understanding and learning about who they are, which can help with the changes they may want to make.

My role is to provide a non-judgemental space where you can explore your challenges and gain the confidence to make changes in your life. The Person Centred Approach values understanding your experiences from your perspective and respecting your individuality.  There is no agenda and we will work together with what you bring to each session.

I believe this approach can be beneficial in helping you navigate life's difficulties and achieve your personal goals.
