About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a clinical psychologist who aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on helping people feel heard. Sessions move at the client’s pace and Lisa offers warmth, patience and practical steps to manage problems.
She has nine years of experience and is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). Much of her background was in NHS services, working with people who had a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
That experience influences a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. Lisa draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor support. She uses cognitive behavioural strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and coping patterns.
She also uses trauma-focused work and EMDR when past experiences are contributing to current distress. People come seeking help for stress, anxiety, depression and addiction-related issues. Other areas Lisa addresses include sleep problems, eating and body-image struggles, grief, anger and difficulties linked to attachment or abandonment.
She can also help with obsessive thoughts, panic and mood instability. In sessions clients can expect clear explanations, simple exercises and collaborative planning. Practical tools may include breathing and grounding exercises, behaviour plans and thought records.
Lisa aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions to cope with life’s ups and downs.

Online support
EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps when distress remains after difficult experiences. Sessions involve guided processing of upsetting memories in a paced way and can be adapted to remote formats when appropriate.
Lisa treats approach selection as a joint decision. She will talk through what is likely to help, try techniques together and adjust plans based on how the client responds. The goal is to find methods that feel manageable and useful for the person in front of her.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or stepping away from a screen is preferable. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written exercises and ongoing contact between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can provide the same therapeutic tools remotely, making it possible to fit therapy around work, family life and location.
