About Lisa

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who brings four years of professional experience to her work. She uses a respectful and compassionate approach. She focuses on helping people find clearer ways to manage stress, sleep problems, grief and relationship difficulties.

Her style is straightforward and personal. She aims to create a space where people can connect with their own thoughts and feelings. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs so conversations and next steps are practical and relevant.

Lisa draws on client-centred therapy to keep the focus on the person in front of her. That means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people notice what they want to change and to build small, realistic steps towards those goals.

She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, parenting strain and long-term health concerns such as chronic pain or cancer related stress. She also supports those dealing with body image, intimacy and communication problems.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Lisa offers a calm, patient way of working that aims to make that step easier. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the client's lead. In practice the counsellor listens, reflects what she hears and helps the person clarify their priorities. This approach often helps with anxiety, relationship worries and sleep problems by giving people space to make sense of their feelings.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons for change. It uses gentle questions and practical goal-setting to help with issues like managing mood, improving sleep routines, or making small lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The counsellor will discuss what seems helpful, try ideas in conversation and adjust methods based on what the client prefers and needs. That planning is collaborative and paced to the individual.

If you are considering remote work, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend between other commitments.
