Hi, I'm Lisa - a psychologist who works with women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, chronically stressed, or lost in their careers and life. You may be experiencing burnout, a relationship trauma, struggling with low confidence and self-doubt, or navigating a career transition. You are seeking clarity, balance, wanting to feel more grounded, empowered and in control. You value a safe space to explore things that worry you and would like to learn how to reduce your anxiety, build resilience and improve your wellbeing. My work draws on Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and narrative coaching.
I have 20+ years of experience helping individuals to believe in themselves, develop more confidence, and improve clarity and direction in their lives. With a calm and empathetic style, I create a safe and supportive space for clients to feel heard and understood. My strengths-based approach assists individuals to improve their resilience and wellbeing.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next step, please reach out - I'd love to support you on this journey.
