Approaches That Inform Online Work and What to Expect

Lisa blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic therapeutic relationship and helps people explore their values, feelings, and goals in a non-directive way - it suits those seeking deeper self-understanding and a trusting space to reflect. CBT is a structured approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support behaviour change and coping, and can be helpful for issues like sleep difficulties or habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, try different methods, and agree on the best fit based on their goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps shape sessions that feel practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy periods, or when in-person meetings are not feasible, while allowing therapists and clients to adapt pace and format to what works best.
