About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a Person Centred counsellor with a BSc Hons and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years' experience and helps people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, coping with life changes, ADHD, stress, anxiety and anger among other concerns.
Lisa offers client-led sessions that put the person's experience first. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people find practical ways forward. Sessions focus on what each person brings, not on fitting them into a model or label.
Her background includes work as a counsellor with young people in alternative provision. That role has given her experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those outside mainstream education because of their life circumstances. She also has extensive experience working with the impacts of domestic abuse and with issues related to narcissistic behaviour.
In practice she combines a Person Centred approach with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and solution-focused techniques when appropriate. This means sessions can be conversational and client-led, with occasional focused tools to process painful memories or to set short-term goals.
Evening appointments are available on request. To begin a programme she asks people to use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The fee varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Lisa uses her approaches in online sessions
Client‑Centred work focuses on listening and following your lead in session. The counsellor uses open questions and reflection to help you make sense of how you feel and what matters most right now.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to process upsetting memories. In practice it combines guided attention with talking through distressing experiences to reduce their intensity over time.
Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short‑term goals. It helps people spot what is working and build simple strategies to manage stress, anger or relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when that is useful. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of ways to meet; discuss which arrangement will suit your schedule and goals.
