About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with common issues people face in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and navigating relationships. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, depression, addiction, grief and trauma-related concerns.

Her sessions are collaborative and flexible. She draws on client-centred work to follow what the person brings to each session. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Hypnotherapy may be offered as another tool when appropriate.

She describes her style as calm and interactive. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking alongside exploring feelings. The aim is to help people identify patterns, test small changes and build coping skills that fit everyday life.

Lisa is based in Scotland and works in English. She accepts international clients and engages with a wide range of concerns, including young adult issues such as leaving home, first jobs and feeling behind peers. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. That first meeting is used to agree goals and which methods will be tried first.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy is about following what matters most to the person in each session and responding to their priorities. It helps with feelings of overwhelm, identity questions and relationship struggles by focusing on the client’s own goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and workplace stress because it breaks problems into steps that can be practised between sessions.

Hypnotherapy can be used as a supplementary tool to support relaxation, change habits and access different ways of thinking. When offered, it is combined with conversational approaches rather than used on its own.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree what to try first, review progress and adjust methods based on needs and preferences. This is a joint decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work shifts or travel and help people keep therapy going when life is busy. They also allow shorter check-ins or different pacing where that suits daily routines.
