About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who helps people struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, sleep and rest issues, anxiety, and mood difficulties. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, self‑esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Lisa is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of practice experience.
Her sessions are person centred, which means the client leads the conversation and their experience shapes the work. Lisa listens without judgement and aims to help people find their own solutions. She describes sessions as a place to talk through painful or confusing feelings and to build small, practical steps forward.
Lisa also uses EMDR, a method that aims to help when memories and trauma feel stuck in the body and mind. She draws on solution‑focused techniques too, which can help identify short‑term goals and what action might make a difference soon.
Alongside her private practice, Lisa works with young people in alternative education settings and has experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those affected by domestic abuse and narcissistic relationships. That background informs how she supports people who feel overwhelmed or retraumatised.
Evening appointments are available by request. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule a time that fits with the therapist’s availability.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Client‑centred therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and valuing their experience in each session. Online sessions still put the person’s priorities first, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help the client make choices that feel right for them.EMDR aims to help when distressing memories or trauma feel stuck. In practice this means guided processing of upsetting memories alongside calm grounding, with the aim of reducing the intensity of those memories over time.
Solution‑focused therapy looks at what a client wants to achieve and small steps that move them toward that goal. It can be useful for sleep issues, stress, and practical problems where short, goal‑directed work helps create quick changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through options and agree together what to try first, adapting the plan as needs and goals become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, enabling evening appointments, or allowing shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to support people across different locations while tailoring the work to each person’s day to day routine.
