About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula offers practical support for people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or sleepless. She introduces herself clearly and aims to make first sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that can improve day-to-day life.

She uses everyday language and a calm, interactive style. Sessions are collaborative - Lisa listens, reflects, and helps clients try new ways of coping. Her work includes attention to sleep and rest difficulties alongside stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

With four years of practice and the NCPS credential, Lisa blends a few therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what the person needs. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes.

Hypnotherapy is another option she may use to help with relaxation and breaking cycles of worry or poor sleep. Psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas are woven in as useful, depending on the issue and the person’s preferences.

Her aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. She helps people set clear goals and reviews them as therapy continues. If you want straightforward help with sleep, stress, or life changes, Lisa offers a gentle, practical approach that adjusts to what you prefer.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help someone make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small practical experiments to change patterns that keep problems going. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and suggestion to support calmer sleep and reduce worry when appropriate.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.

The original biography does not state which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at stressful moments, or letting someone join from a quieter room without needing to leave work. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to carry out the same collaborative planning, practical exercises and relaxation techniques that happen in person.
