About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who helps people manage relationships, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, self-esteem, career pressures and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Lisa uses a thoughts-and-habits focus to help people notice patterns and try manageable changes.
Sessions are client led and start with the person’s priorities. Lisa works in a Person Centred way, listening without judgement and helping clients name what matters most to them. She aims to help people feel more able to make choices that suit their lives.
She also brings techniques from solution-focused work to set small, practical goals. That approach helps when people want clear steps to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used when trauma or distressing memories are affecting day-to-day life.

She has six years' experience and has worked with people in alternative education settings. This includes those with additional learning needs and people affected by domestic abuse and narcissistic behaviours.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person's lead to help them find their own ways forward. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and goals that can be tried between sessions to create steady change. EMDR is used with people who have distressing memories or trauma; it involves structured sets of bilateral stimulation alongside talking to reduce the emotional hold of those memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed as progress is made so the plan stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, help people join from different locations, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to know which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what suits your schedule and needs.
