About Lisa

Lisa Kinsella is a person-centred counsellor with a BSc (Hons) and training as an EMDR practitioner, and she is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her practice is grounded in a client-led approach that values each person’s experience and supports clients to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Clients work with Lisa to build a non-judgemental space where the focus is on empowerment and finding personal solutions to the challenges they bring to therapy. In addition to her private practice, she works with young people in alternative provision and has experience supporting those with additional learning needs and non-mainstream educational circumstances. She also has extensive experience addressing domestic abuse and the psychological effects often associated with narcissistic behaviour.

Lisa recognises that reaching out for counselling can feel difficult, and she aims to make the first steps approachable and respectful. Evening appointments are available by request; prospective clients are encouraged to make contact to discuss availability and how therapy might fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Lisa offers approaches that focus on the client’s experience and practical progress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises active listening and respect for the person’s own pace and priorities - it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings, relationships, identity, or self-esteem without a directive agenda. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and symptoms related to abuse or overwhelming events, helping clients process those memories in a different way. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-oriented, concentrating on strengths and small, practical steps to address issues such as coping with life changes, stress, or relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family, or mobility needs. These options can increase accessibility and make ongoing therapy more practical for people with varied schedules or who live some distance from a therapist.
