About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or life changes. She introduces herself simply and calmly, and offers therapy that aims to help people feel steadier and more in control. Conversations are straightforward and practical, with space to talk about what matters most to each person.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred listening and hypnotherapy to shape sessions around individual needs. Sessions focus on developing clearer thinking patterns, spotting unhelpful habits, and building small steps that fit everyday life.

Her style is described as calm and interactive, centred on warmth and non-judgemental listening. People can expect a relaxed space to say what they need to say and to try out different ways of tackling problems. The pace and focus are set together, so work proceeds at a level that feels manageable.

Lisa has four years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. She also accepts international clients through online arrangements, and tailors sessions to each person's circumstances.

To begin, clients use the service's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability so people can find a time that fits their life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and offering empathic responses so a person can explore their own solutions; it helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anger, anxiety and sleeping problems. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to support changes in habits and responses, and can be used alongside other work for issues such as stress and coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods feel most useful based on an individual's goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from different locations and carry on with therapy when circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
