About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a Person Centred counsellor (BSc Hons) with six years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with young adults and others on topics such as relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and coping with life changes.
Her practice centres on client-led sessions where the person's own experience guides the work. Sessions are framed so the client shapes what is discussed and what feels most important. Lisa also uses EMDR for trauma-related material and draws on solution-focused techniques when people want shorter-term, goal-oriented work.
Lisa has worked with young people in alternative provision and supports those with additional learning needs and non-mainstream education backgrounds. She has considerable experience with domestic abuse and the effects of narcissistic behaviour, and brings that knowledge into adult therapy work.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, make practical changes and build daily coping strategies. Lisa talks through issues and helps clients identify next steps they can try between sessions. Evening appointments are available on request and international clients are accepted.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the individual's experience and what they want to work on, which can suit people looking to talk through early-adult pressures like starting work or relationship changes.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing distressing memories. It involves guided attention tasks alongside talking to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and can be useful for trauma and abuse survivors.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, practical goals and short-term steps. It helps clients identify small changes to try between sessions, which can be useful when managing stress, ADHD-related organisation, or work and study transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and different issues arise.
The biography does not state specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or shifts, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapy within a busy early-adult life.
