About Lisa
Lisa Tabanivesikula offers straightforward, personalised counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do next. She introduces simple ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship or career worries so clients can take practical next steps.

Sessions are calm and interactive. She listens with empathy and helps people identify what they want to change and how to make that happen.
How Lisa works
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. These include client-centred ways of exploring a person’s experience, cognitive behavioural ideas for spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits, and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused elements to look at patterns and set achievable goals.
Lisa has four years of experience working with concerns such as stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, addictions, grief, trauma and issues linked to intimacy and body image. She also supports clients dealing with chronic illness, workplace difficulties, money worries and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Lisa works with international clients.
Her NCPS credential is shown as part of her professional details. People usually start by describing their main concern and agreeing a plan for the next steps together.

Online support options
How Lisa's approaches work online
Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own priorities and feelings, helping them to be heard and to find their own answers. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help change patterns or perceptions. It can be used alongside other approaches for issues such as stress, sleep or confidence work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adapt based on what helps most. Clients are invited to be active in shaping their plan so the work fits their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and other commitments.
