About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps people with relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related and self-esteem concerns and career questions.

She has worked with clients facing eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and mood conditions such as bipolar. Additional areas of attention listed include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and communication problems.
In sessions she uses client-centred therapy, which places the person’s own perspective at the heart of the work. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and take practical steps. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what is important to the person in front of her.
Lisa aims to help people talk through what feels stuck and to identify next steps they can try between sessions. She describes her approach as respectful and sensitive, and she works with each person to shape the sessions around their needs and priorities.
People considering therapy are encouraged to think about what they want from sessions before booking. Lisa accepts international clients and offers work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Lisa uses client-centred and motivational approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and to make sense of their priorities, which can be useful for relationship concerns, grief and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people weigh options and build motivation for change. It works well for goals such as improving sleep, managing mood or making career steps.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
