My name is Lisa and I am a qualified couples and family therapist. I do also offer individual appointments especially if the reasons are relational.
One of the common themes that I often recognise when working with more than one person in the therapy room is the lack of or misunderstanding of communication between couples/families/friends or even work colleagues. As people we often assume that the person we are communicating with knows and understands how we are thinking and feeling but this is often not the case and can stop us from having conversations and expressing our thoughts and feelings which in turn can result in communication breakdown and sadly lead to relationship difficulties.
I work systemically which means during the counselling session we would explore all areas of your life including, environment as well as other external and internal factors such as your own values and beliefs.
Pre-trial therapy
Saturday appointments are available for clients who are victims or witnesses to a crime. My work is client centred, providing emotional support and to help you with your thoughts and feelings, which can be upsetting and leave you feeling unheard and invisible.
I also offer counselling to clients, over 18 years, who have been on Jury Service. Having been on it myself I am aware of what can and cannot be discussed. I am also mindful that being a juror can be unsettling and leave you with a mixture of emotions, including guilt, anger and sadness.
What treatment looks like:
On the first session we would explore your situation and establish how we may work together and this will be carried out in a safe and confidential space.
I believe in offering a warm, non-judgemental and empathic approach to provide you with a safe space to share your feelings and thoughts.
My type of counselling would be tailored to suit your needs.
