About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of practical work supporting people through stressful and painful life moments. Lisa aims to offer calm, respectful care and to help people reconnect with themselves when life feels overwhelming.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with people facing relationship and family tensions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and career challenges.
Background and approach
More complex areas listed in her practice include trauma and abuse, bipolar difficulties, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Lisa uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s own experience first. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and build motivation for change.
Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and pace, not a fixed formula. Her style is respectful and sensitive. She aims to listen without judgement and to tailor conversations and plans so they feel useful and realistic.
People can expect clear, straightforward dialogue about practical next steps as well as space to make sense of difficult feelings. Lisa works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Lisa works online
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way of working that helps people find reasons to change and build confidence to act. It can be useful for making practical shifts in areas like sleep, eating, or coping habits and for preparing to tackle bigger changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods so they fit you. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins during a break. If you prefer specific session formats please confirm the available options before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity of care when life is otherwise hectic.
