About Lisa
Lisa Badman-Dunphy is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of counselling practice and a long history of work in health and social care. She trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and uses talking therapy to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions are offered online and by phone, usually once a week, with options for short-term or ongoing work.
She focuses on exploring the roots of emotions, thoughts and behaviour.
Background and approach
That means looking at how past experiences can shape current responses. Lisa helps people uncover repeating patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties so they can choose different ways of coping. Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
She also supports people with eating and body image issues, parenting strain, career questions and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her style is calm and non-judgemental.
She aims to create a respectful space where people can talk openly and feel heard. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on understanding feelings as well as finding practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures.
Lisa’s earlier career included more than 20 years working with the NHS and other care providers, including roles in health visiting, sexual health, older persons mental health and special educational needs and disability services. That background informs her practical, person-centred approach. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Fees vary by location and are charged through a cancellable subscription.

Approaches Lisa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In sessions the therapist helps bring hidden feelings and dynamics into view so they can be talked about. That approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, grief and recovery from abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work or a different focus fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is reviewed as therapy progresses rather than fixed at the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when someone wants to write rather than speak.
These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or mobility needs, while keeping the focus on consistent, weekly time to talk and reflect.
