Lisa Kirk , BACP

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works respectfully and sensitively with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. Her aim is to help clients connect more clearly with their own needs and feelings. She focuses on practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions are tailored to each person, with a plan that grows from what the client brings. Lisa offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about painful events, loss, or ongoing pressures. Her background includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and challenges around intimacy and family strain. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar, and issues around self-esteem and anger. Additional areas of attention include attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Lisa uses client-centred ways of working alongside motivational interviewing approaches. That means she asks open questions, listens closely, and helps people find their own motivations for change. The focus is on collaboration and practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and options. Lisa adapts the pace and style to match what someone needs that week. She encourages small, manageable moves towards greater wellbeing.

How Lisa's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects back what a person says, helping them notice their own feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need a supportive space to make sense of difficult events or emotions. Motivational Interviewing centres on finding personal reasons to change. The counsellor asks open questions and gently helps people weigh options and strengths. It can be useful for decisions about relationships, health behaviours, or making life adjustments. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk through options and tailor methods to match a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions remain relevant and practical. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and conversation similar to in-person work. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins and allow ongoing reflection between longer sessions. Many people find the range of online options increases accessibility and consistency. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to these formats so that the work stays focused on progress and real-life changes.
