About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a Person Centred counsellor with a BSc Hons and BACP registration, practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She lists social anxiety and phobia among many concerns she supports, alongside relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting and grief. Sessions are described as client led, with space to talk through immediate worries and practical problems.
Her approach centres on listening to each person's experience and working at their pace. She uses person centred methods to help people find their own solutions, and also offers EMDR for trauma-related material. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that can ease stress and make day-to-day life more manageable.
Lisa has experience supporting young people in alternative provision and people with additional learning needs. She also has substantial experience with domestic abuse and issues linked to narcissistic relationships. This background informs how she manages safety planning and pacing when difficult memories or ongoing stress arise.
Sessions aim to address everyday effects of difficulties such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and concentration issues related to ADHD. She also works with people facing employment and career questions, addiction concerns, and complicated family situations. International clients may be accepted and sessions are offered in English.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. For a first step, the site requests completion of a short matching questionnaire and scheduling of an initial session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and choices. The counsellor listens without directing, and supports people to explore their own feelings and decide on next steps. This approach suits issues where a person needs space to be heard and to make practical changes at their own pace.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to work with distress linked to past traumatic events. In simple terms it combines focused recall of troubling memories with bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of those memories. It is often used for trauma, abuse and related anxiety symptoms.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes that can make daily life more manageable. It concentrates on strengths and immediate steps, which can be helpful for stress, sleep difficulties, career choices and coping with life changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try methods that match the person's needs. Plans can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The original profile does not specify online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt techniques such as EMDR and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions.
