About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, ADHD, addictions, grief and low self-esteem. Lisa holds BACP accreditation and brings six years of practice experience to her work.
Her sessions are client-led and grounded in a person-centred approach. She listens first and follows the concerns a person brings. The goal is to help people feel heard and to empower them to discover practical ways forward for their situation.
Background and approach
Lisa also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, for people affected by distressing memories and traumatic experiences. She complements this with solution-focused techniques to help people set clear, achievable goals and try small changes between sessions. Her background includes working in settings that support people with additional learning needs and those in non-mainstream education.
She has developed experience supporting people who have experienced domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic behaviour. Evening appointments are offered by request. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and arranges sessions according to therapist availability.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Approaches Lisa lists

How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. In sessions the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's lead to help them make sense of their experience and choose next steps. This approach helps with relationship problems, low self-esteem and life transitions.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories. It involves recalling upsetting material while using guided bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity and build new perspectives. EMDR is often used for trauma and abuse-related difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical changes. Sessions identify clear goals and build on what already works, making it useful for coping with stress, parenting challenges and finding ways forward between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and tailor methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as understanding grows.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face contact, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports frequent, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
