About Lisa
Lisa Badman-Dunphy is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years' experience in private practice and over two decades of earlier work in health and social care. She supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship concerns, and helps those facing life changes or difficulties related to parenting and career.
Her background includes long roles in health visiting, sexual health, older persons mental health and special educational needs and disabilities. That experience informs a practical approach to talking therapy. Sessions are offered one-to-one by phone or online, usually weekly, and can be short term or open-ended depending on what a person needs.
Lisa uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at the roots of feelings and behaviour. She pays attention to how past experiences and relationship patterns can shape what happens now. In a session she will help a person notice recurring patterns and think about how those patterns affect daily life.
People who meet her tend to work through issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, ADHD-related difficulties, and intimacy-related problems. She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment, codependency and commitment worries.
She lists communities she engages with, including BIPOC, body positivity, LGBTQIA+ and sex-positive groups. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How psychodynamic work fits with online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences, relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. In practice this means talking about recurring situations, noticing emotional responses and gently linking them to earlier events to increase understanding. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues and struggles linked to grief or trauma.Working online does not change the basic aim of the therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with a person to find which aspects of psychodynamic work are most helpful. They will discuss goals, pacing and any adjustments needed for an online or phone format so the approach fits the person's needs and preferences.
Sessions are offered one-to-one by phone and online according to the biography. If a reader wants a different format they should confirm available options before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they allow for regular weekly meetings without needing to travel to an office. Registered or accredited professionals often use these formats to support ongoing work while adapting how they meet to suit a person's practical life.
