Lisa is an Integrative Counsellor and an accredited member of the BACP with 7 years' experience in private practice.

Drawing on different theories and approaches depending on what you need from your time together, Lisa places an emphasis on the quality of the relationship - following your lead and pace, what is important to you, what you feel you need to address, what has worked before, and what works now.

Lisa has a keen interest and knowledge of neuroscience, which she incorporates into her work with clients. This is a particularly powerful way of helping clients understand how they came to be who they are, how they respond to things, and that neuroplasticity allows for the potential of real change.

She specialises in bereavement and trauma related bereavement, infant loss, life-changing events, anxiety and depression.

Lisa offers a free fifteen-minute telephone consultation to discuss your current needs. A half-hour initial assessment appointment can then be booked before moving onto counselling sessions.

I am a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) offering personalised, time-limited psychological therapy. I am currently a senior clinical psychologist within adult secondary care mental health services with the NHS.

I typically specialise in adult mental health, with a focus on trauma, depression, interpersonal and relational difficulties, as well as anxiety-related difficulties including social anxiety, phobias and OCD.

I work integratively, which means that I use understanding and techniques from different psychological modalities in order to build a person-centred approach that fits best with the individual. As each person I work with has their own unique set of needs, the therapy will be tailored to give the client what they want, whilst keeping in line with the current, evidence-based, best practice.

The current therapeutic approaches I typically draw on are Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Compassion-Focussed Therapy (CFT), as well as Psychodynamic and Systemic approaches.

In regards to the process of starting therapy, I always offer a free initial telephone consultation for 15 minutes to help both of us decide whether it would be suitable for us to work together. I specifically offer time-limited therapy, in line with my practice in the NHS, using your specific goals as the anchor underpinning therapy. During the assessment, we can make a decision together in regards to the amount of sessions which will be offered, which will typically be 16-24 sessions. However in line with a person-centred approach the number of sessions offered can be adapted depending on the individual and their needs.

Please note that due to my commitments within the NHS, I am only able to offer a select number of appointments within private practice, in which at present I only have availability on Tuesday evenings or Saturdays.

You can contact me by email on ajcpsychologicaltherapy@outlook.com where we can arrange for the best time for me to call you to have our initial free 15 minute telephone consultation.
