About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions and anger. Lisa also addresses issues such as sleep problems, grief and self-esteem.
Her approach blends practical techniques with careful listening. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness and trauma-focused work. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, developing skills for managing strong feelings, and trying out small, sustainable changes.
Lisa has worked for several years within NHS services and with a range of difficulties. That background influences her straightforward style and emphasis on strategies that people can use between sessions. She pays attention to the effects of past attachments, adoption or foster care experiences, and issues around control and shame.
For anger specifically, she helps people recognise triggers and responses, practise de-escalation skills, and rebuild trust in relationships affected by outbursts or ongoing tension. For addictions and process-related concerns she uses approaches that focus on patterns and relapse prevention.
Sessions are paced to the individual. Lisa aims to work collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps. People are encouraged to try techniques in daily life and review what helps and what needs adjusting.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, mood problems and patterns that keep anger or addiction cycles running.DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intensity, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation. Those skills can reduce moments of escalation and help with relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and let people choose quieter surroundings or shorter contacts if that helps. Registered professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice to work over distance, and the therapist will explain how to use chosen methods between sessions.
