Lisa Kinsella , BACP

Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who helps people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing ADHD, addiction, grief, low self-esteem and work-related strain. Lisa brings a calm, listening presence and aims to help people feel heard and understood.

She uses a person-centred style that keeps the client's priorities at the heart of sessions. That means the conversation follows what matters to the person, and Lisa helps them find their own answers rather than imposing solutions. She also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often used for distress linked to past traumatic events.

Her background includes six years of counselling experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. She has worked with young people in alternative provision and has experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those in non-mainstream education.

Lisa has particular experience with domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic behaviour, and she draws on that when people bring related concerns. She aims to make sessions clear and straightforward, offering evening appointments by request to fit around other commitments.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are welcomed. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions at times that suit them.

How Lisa uses different approaches online

Lisa works in a person-centred way online, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and the conversation follows their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to explore feelings at their own pace.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when people bring distress linked to past traumatic events. EMDR involves guided attention and recall of difficult memories to help reduce their impact, and it can be adapted for remote sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she draws on; it concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to help people move forward quickly.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different ways of working and agree on a plan that fits the client's needs and preferences. That makes it easier to adapt as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller, face-to-face feeling; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family and travel.
