About Lisa
Lisa Dobinson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting pressures, work problems and low mood. She also supports those facing grief, intimacy issues, low self-esteem and life changes. Lisa writes plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried people.
She trained in Ireland and brings an integrative humanistic approach to sessions. That means she mixes ideas from person-centred and Gestalt ways of working to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
She pays close attention to how the body speaks alongside words and uses that to help people notice what might be unspoken. Lisa also completed a relational qualification with Relate and uses systemic ideas to spot family patterns that repeat across generations. She uses this to help people see recurring patterns and consider different choices for relationships and parenting.
Her practice draws on seven years of professional experience and ongoing continuing professional development. She values taking part in counselling herself so she can stay present and useful in sessions. Lisa is a BACP member, which is shown here as BACP.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set goals and try things out. Lisa aims to make the therapy space one where people can feel heard and start to change how they cope with difficult situations.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try based on their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. That process can change over time as needs evolve and new issues come up.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when you want visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need flexible ways to keep in touch. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity between appointments.
