About Lisa

Lisa Kinsella welcomes visitors with a clear focus on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and the stress of life changes. She also supports people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and chronic health-related difficulties. Lisa uses straightforward, person-centred conversations to help people feel heard and start finding their own way forward.

Lisa trained to a BSc Hons level and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She describes her practice as client led, which means sessions follow the person's priorities rather than a strict agenda. The aim is to empower people to identify practical steps they can take between sessions. In addition to her independent practice, Lisa works with young people in alternative education settings.

That work has given her experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those who find themselves outside mainstream schooling for personal reasons. She has also worked extensively with survivors of domestic abuse and people affected by narcissistic relationships. Sessions are offered with an emphasis on listening, gentle reflection, and collaborative goal-setting.

Lisa may combine person-centred approaches with targeted techniques to address distressing memories or help people build short-term practical strategies. Evening appointments can be arranged by request. The approach is warm and straightforward.

Lisa encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take a small first step and enquire about the next available appointment.

How Lisa works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. Online or remote conversations still centre on being heard and supported while clients set the pace and topics. EMDR, which addresses distressing memories through guided bilateral stimulation, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms; when adapted for remote work it involves clear guidance and collaborative planning. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and practical goals; this approach helps people try out changes between sessions and measure progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods suit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. This means trying things out and adjusting as therapy progresses rather than committing to one rigid method from the start.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and choose quieter moments for check-ins. Others value shorter or more frequent sessions when work or caring duties make longer appointments difficult. The emphasis is on making therapy fit everyday life while using approaches that suit each person's situation.
