About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Lisa aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to reconnect with themselves and their priorities.
Her style is practical and person-centred. She tailors conversations and any agreed plan to each person's situation. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and pacing change so it feels manageable.
How Lisa works
Lisa has supported people through relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and challenges around parenting. She also works with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career worries. Long-term conditions such as chronic pain or illness, and life events like bereavement or major change, are also within her experience.
She brings specific attention to attachment-related issues, abandonment concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and the needs of people involved in BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures. Other focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, co-morbidity, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Lisa uses client-centred methods alongside motivational interviewing techniques to help people explore their goals and find motivation for change. Conversations are collaborative and paced around the person's needs. People who prefer working in English and who are located in the United Kingdom or internationally can connect with her online.

Online support options
Approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem and wants a supportive space to do that.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is practical for goals such as improving sleep, managing anger, or taking steps around career or health choices. The therapist helps draw out personal motivation rather than imposing solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining client-centred listening with motivational techniques to build momentum for change.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when that matters. Phone sessions use less internet bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging offer a shorter check-in or a way to communicate without being on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.
