About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing depression and many related concerns. She brings six years of practice and a Person-Centred approach that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. Lisa is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses that background to frame her work.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful or confusing experiences.
Background and approach
Sessions are led by the client so the pace and focus follow what matters most. Lisa aims to help people feel more able to find their own solutions and to regain a sense of control over day-to-day life. Her practice includes support for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, grief, stress, anxiety, addiction issues and low self-esteem.
She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment challenges, body image, chronic illness, and blended family worries. Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Solution-Focused techniques and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate.
That mix lets her respond to immediate practical needs and to deeper emotional processing if it is needed. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. Evening appointments are available on request and scheduling follows therapist availability.

Approaches Lisa lists

Online support
She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), which involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity. EMDR can be helpful for people dealing with trauma and abuse who want a targeted way to process painful events.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want practical, short-term steps to change a situation. It concentrates on strengths, recent successes, and small goals that move life forward.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, weighing the person's needs, goals and preferences to choose what feels most helpful. Sessions can move between approaches as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
