Lisa Kinsella

Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor who supports people dealing with anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings six years of practice experience to her work. Lisa aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.

Her sessions are client led, following a person-centred approach that values each person’s experience. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and focuses on finding their own solutions. Lisa also uses EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, for trauma-related memories when appropriate, and draws on solution-focused ideas to help set small, practical goals.

Alongside her private practice, Lisa works with young people in alternative provision and has experience supporting people with additional learning needs and those in non-mainstream education. She has worked extensively with people affected by domestic abuse and with those coping with narcissistic relationships.

Lisa offers evening appointments by request and asks people to get in touch to discuss availability. To start the process, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. International clients are accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa practises person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach still centre on the client’s experience and aim to help them find their own solutions.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, for trauma memories. EMDR online typically involves guided bilateral stimulation while the client recalls distressing moments, and it can help reduce the intensity of painful memories. Solution-focused therapy is short-term and goal oriented; online work with this method concentrates on small practical steps and measuring progress between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree on a plan together. Sessions can be adapted as understanding grows and goals change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for sessions that suit quieter or lower-bandwidth situations without committing to a particular format in advance.
