About Lisa

Lisa Kinsella is a person-centred counsellor and EMDR practitioner who brings a warm, client-led approach to therapy. She holds a BSc (Hons) - a Bachelor of Science degree with honours - and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), reflecting her commitment to professional practice. Her work focuses on listening closely to each person's experience and creating a non-judgemental space where individuals can explore feelings, identify strengths, and move toward their own solutions.

Lisa has experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions, as well as conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addictions. She also works with issues around intimacy, family dynamics, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career concerns. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, and complex responses to chronic pain and illness.

Alongside her private practice, Lisa works with young people in alternative education provision and has developed experience responding to additional learning needs and the impacts of non-mainstream schooling. She has substantial experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse and people affected by narcissistic dynamics. Her style emphasises empowerment, collaboration, and respect for each person's lived experience.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, prioritising empathy, active listening, and the client's own pace in exploring feelings and choices. This approach helps with relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief, and adapting to life changes by empowering clients to find their own answers.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. It can be effective for people struggling with trauma, abuse, and related anxiety symptoms by helping the brain reprocess distressing experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths to create change quickly, making it useful for goals such as improving communication, coping with stress, and addressing specific problems in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will work together with each person to identify goals, consider which methods fit best with their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative exploration helps ensure the therapy aligns with individual priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and location. These options increase accessibility and can help people maintain continuity of care while working with licensed professionals and therapists remotely.
