About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. Lisa also supports those coping with grief, trauma, depression and major life changes.
Her background includes work with family conflict, intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. She also has experience with eating and sleeping problems, career worries, and long-term health challenges such as chronic illness and caregiving stress. Lisa lists a broad range of additional focus areas including attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.
In sessions she uses Client-Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations are led by the person’s concerns, and the therapist uses questions and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps. The work tends to be practical and conversational rather than highly prescriptive.
People meet to talk through what’s causing distress, to learn different ways of responding to anger and frustration, and to plan manageable changes. Lisa aims to be respectful and sensitive in those conversations. She adapts how she talks and the pace of work to the individual’s preferences and needs.
Starting therapy involves an initial conversation to understand the immediate issues and what the person hopes to achieve. From there Lisa and the client agree a way forward and review progress as they go.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about focusing on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects back what she hears, and helps people notice what matters most. This approach suits issues like relationship tensions, anger that shows up with loved ones, and personal coping with change.Motivational Interviewing uses focused questions and gentle reflection to help someone consider change. It’s useful when a person feels stuck or unsure about next steps, for example with eating, sleeping, or making lifestyle adjustments related to health or work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adapt methods to their aims and preferences. The process is collaborative – she helps weigh options and try different ways of working until a suitable fit is found.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm which formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions around work, reducing travel, or using shorter check-ins when life is busy. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can make conversations easier when video is not practical, while longer video sessions allow more time for reflection and planning.
