Meet Lisa
Creative Psychotherapy & Clinical Supervision
Therapy is often about talking our problems through. Lisa's practice can offer, if helpful and right for you, more creative techniques inviting the chance to explore challenging feelings that may be holding us back in our lives and relationships, in creative and dynamic ways. Lisa has experience of working in this way with any age from the age of five.
Lisa's practice for relational and attachment trauma is an approach that can help individuals recognize the role relationships play in the shaping of daily experiences, and attempts to help people understand patterns appearing in the thoughts and feelings they have toward themselves and others.
The therapy focus is on relationships with others being an essential aspect of emotional well-being. People who find it difficult to maintain supportive and healthy relationships may experience a sense of disconnection in addition to feelings of diminished self-worth and general distress, and their sense of emotional well-being may be negatively affected.
Stress and emotional upheaval are often the results of past relational experiences, and these concerns may inhibit the present self from full expression. Lisa aims to provide an atmosphere of empathy and attentiveness to elicit full disclosure of the experiences and events, as well as the effects they have had both relationally and socially.
Lisa has 20 years experience of working therapeutically with children and adults, completing a Masters in 2009 and is a senior psychotherapist/dramatherapist, consulting therapist, and qualified as a clinical supervisor in June 2022.
Lisa has developed extensive knowledge, understanding, and compassion for relational and attachment trauma that hugely impact our lives. Through her gentle yet resilient approach – change is possible.
Lisa is experienced in working with clients to maximize health and work towards a pathway of well-being through identifying trauma, working with underlying emotional presentations, and supporting clients to feel empowered.
Stress and emotional upheaval are often the results of past relational experiences, and these concerns may inhibit the present self from full expression.
