About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella provides support for people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anxiety, stress and changes in life circumstances. She helps with ADHD, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. Lisa uses a person-centred way of working so the person’s experience leads the sessions.
With a BSc (Hons) and BACP membership, Lisa has six years of counselling experience. She combines a listening approach with practical strategies when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and aim to build the person’s confidence to make their own choices. Lisa has experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic behaviour. She also works with young people in alternative education settings and has knowledge of additional learning needs and non-mainstream schooling circumstances.
Her work covers many specific concerns such as intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, body image, chronic illness and grief. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, control and commitment difficulties. Sessions are client-led and paced to suit each person.
Lisa offers evening appointments by request and accepts international clients. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

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
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to reduce the impact of traumatic memories. It involves guided attention and processing of distressing memories and can help people who carry trauma from past events or abuse.
Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. Sessions concentrate on strengths and what works, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, stress and problem-solving.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. It may take a few sessions to find the right fit and the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers practical advantages. Video calls let people meet by sight and voice for a fuller connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and different life situations.
