About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, codependency and stressful life changes. She also helps with anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are person centred, with the client’s experience guiding the conversation. Lisa aims to help people feel heard and to find their own ways forward.
Lisa trained to a Bachelor of Science (Hons) level and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines a person centred style with practical tools and occasionally uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing when appropriate. This blend allows her to be present with feelings while still working towards clear, achievable goals.
She has six years of experience and also works with young people in alternative education settings. That work has given her experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those whose schooling has been affected by life events. Lisa has substantial experience of domestic abuse and of dealing with the effects of narcissistic behaviour.
The approach in sessions is calm and straightforward. Lisa listens without judging and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of change. She offers evening appointments on request and supports people from the United Kingdom and international clients as needed.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. Lisa encourages anyone who feels unsure to get in touch and talk about their needs.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person first and letting their priorities guide each session. It helps when someone needs to be listened to and to make decisions from their own experience.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help process traumatic memories and lessen their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people affected by abuse, attachment difficulties or repeated distressing events.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. It suits people who want brief, goal-orientated work and clear actions between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discuss evening appointments and format details to find what suits your schedule and situation.
