About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and money and financial issues among other concerns. She offers a listening space where clients lead the conversation. Lisa approaches sessions with respect for each person’s experience and aims to help them feel able to find their own solutions.
She practices a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s priorities first. Lisa also uses EMDR, which can be helpful when traumatic memories are causing distress, and she draws on solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable steps between sessions. Sessions are intended to be practical and paced to what the person needs.
Lisa brings six years of experience and holds BACP membership, which is noted in her credentials as BACP. Alongside her private practice she works with young people in alternative provision and has experience supporting those with additional learning needs and those in non-mainstream education.
She has dealt with many issues related to domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic behaviour. Lisa also works with a broad range of emotional and behavioural concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and stress-related difficulties.
Evening appointments are available by request and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to contact her to discuss what they need and to see if her way of working fits their situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions let the person steer the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports their choices, which works well for relationship, stress and self-esteem concerns.EMDR is used to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. In an online setting the therapist guides specific eye movements or alternative bilateral stimulation while helping the client stay grounded during the work.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It helps set short-term goals and track progress between appointments, which can suit people juggling busy schedules.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through needs, goals and preferences, and agree on methods that feel right for the person. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow work on goals from wherever the client is based. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
