Hi, I'm Lisa
(MBACP, SNCPS (Acc.)
I’m a straight talking Therapist who will guide you to optimum mental, emotional and physical health. My approach is solution focused and person centred, with a specialism in Applied Neuroscience and brain health.
With over 15 years of experience, I specialise in helping people understand the deep connection between the brain, mind and body, particularly in relation to chronic stress, emotional dysregulation and trauma.
As someone living with chronic illness, I understand firsthand the importance of balance, rest and managing stress in a sustainable, compassionate way.
I am science driven and integrate various modalities and strategies to support meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in real-world resilience and practical brain health education.
If you want to go beyond short-term coping and begin to rewire the patterns that keep you stuck, I’d love to support your journey.
Why work with me?
Because I get it. I know what it’s like to feel completely overwhelmed, stuck and like nothing works – you can read more about my story. I also know it’s absolutely possible to learn how to regulate our nervous system, and to change our thoughts, feelings and behaviours – the wonders of neuroplasticity!
There was a time when stress and burnout were ruling my life but I was able to overcome it, and you can too!
I practice what I preach and prioritise things that bring me joy like walking my dog, dancing and performing in musical theatre – all things that once seemed impossible.
I don’t just have the lived experience, I am also highly qualified and theoretically skilled with a broad range of knowledge.
I will teach you tools and techniques to create healthy, more positive and effective patterns of behaviour that will make positive changes to your life and will bring calm, inner peace and clarity.
All you need to do is make a commitment to yourself, have an open mind and willingness to start. I can’t promise it will be easy, but it will absolutely be worth it!
