Not everything is easy to put into words.
Integrative Counselling, Therapy and Reflective Practice.
A little about me
Hi, I’m Lisa and I offer integrative counselling, psychotherapy and reflective support for adults navigating overwhelm, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationships and life’s more difficult seasons.
I know that life can look “fine” on the outside whilst internally things feel heavy, confusing or hard to put into words. A lot of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for everyone else whilst quietly struggling themselves.
Therapy with me is about having a space where you don’t need to perform, explain everything perfectly or have it all figured out.
What brings people to counselling and therapy
People often come to counselling carrying things that have felt difficult to slow down, make sense of or hold alone for some time.
This can look like anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, overthinking, self-doubt or simply a feeling that something no longer feels quite right.
Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking support. Other times, it’s more a sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, lost in your thoughts or tired of carrying everything on your own.
Spiralling
When your thoughts wont slow down
Sometimes the mind keeps moving long after the rest of you is exhausted. Overthinking, anxiety and emotional overwhelm can make it difficult to feel grounded or clear. Therapy can offer space to untangle what feels stuck in motion.
Feeling Stuck
Trying to find a way forward
There are times in life where things can feel heavy, uncertain or difficult to move through alone.
Counselling can help create understanding, direction and a steadier sense of self.
Holding Everything Together
Carrying more than people realise
Many people become used to coping quietly, even when things feel overwhelming underneath.
Therapy can provide space where you no longer have to hold everything on your own.
Disconnection
Feeling distant from yourself or others
At times it can feel difficult to explain what’s changed — only that something feels different, flat or disconnected.
Counselling can help reconnect you with your thoughts, emotions and relationships in a more meaningful way.
How I work
A little more about therapy
I’m not the kind of therapist who sits silently nodding whilst you do all the heavy lifting.
I work in a way that is honest, grounded and human. Some sessions might involve making sense of patterns, relationships or emotions that feel difficult to untangle. Other times, it might simply be having a space where you can finally exhale and say things out loud without feeling judged, analysed or “too much.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative rather than clinical. You don’t need to arrive with the right words, a crisis or a perfectly explained story. We start wherever you are.
Alongside deeper reflective work, I also value the quieter everyday things that support emotional wellbeing — slowing down, noticing patterns, reconnecting with yourself and finding small ways to feel more regulated, present and intentional in daily life.

Experience
With both professional and personal experience of mental health and life challenges, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my counselling practice. Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked within the NHS, education, local authorities, and the charitable sector in a range of roles. My background includes academic research at both degree and master’s level in psychology, lecturing at the University of Hertfordshire, and working as a Trauma and Addiction Recovery counsellor.
This broad experience allows me to support people from many different walks of life, always with compassion and curiosity.
I specialise in working with those who feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll focus not only on the thoughts and emotions that feel relentless, but also on the physical sensations that accompany panic and distress. Through therapy, you can develop tools to create a greater sense of safety, control, and calm. From there, we can gently explore the deeper reasons behind your struggles, helping you to worry less, feel safer, and reconnect with life in a more meaningful way.
My Approach
I’m a person-centred, integrative counsellor and clinical supervisor, with a mindfulness-based approach to mental health and wellbeing. Being integrative means I draw from a variety of theories and models, tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each client.
My style combines traditional counselling with creative and contemporary approaches. I place a strong focus on the mind–body connection, exploring how emotions can affect the body — from energy and immunity to tension, pain, and overall wellbeing.
Often, I guide clients to notice their bodily responses to situations and feelings. This somatic approach helps deepen self-understanding, making space for greater awareness, regulation, and healing.
