About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and addiction find clearer ways forward. She provides calm, compassionate support and aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences. Lisa is described as steady and hopeful, and she works at a pace that suits each person.
She trained and practises as a clinical psychologist and is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, HCPC.
Background and approach
Over nine years she has worked across NHS services and supported people with a wide range of difficulties. That background shapes a practical, evidence-aware style of work. In sessions she draws on several practical approaches.
Cognitive behavioural methods help identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behaviour ideas teach skills to manage intense emotions. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing techniques can be used when trauma is part of the picture.
She also uses mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness and trauma-focused methods when past events are still causing distress. For people facing addiction, elements of Cognitive-Behavioural Integrated Treatment are available as part of her approach. Lisa focuses on clear strategies and coping tools as well as on understanding what lies behind a difficulty.
Her aim is to offer a non-judgemental atmosphere where people can make steady progress. The tone is warm and pragmatic, with attention to real-life changes and small steps that add up over time.

How Lisa works online
EMDR, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories so they cause less distress. Sessions involve guided attention and revisiting memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review problems, goals and preferences together and try methods that fit those aims. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted as therapy progresses.
For practical online arrangements, confirm available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access this clinician from different locations, including international clients, while keeping appointments aligned with everyday life and responsibilities.
