About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can begin to talk about what matters to them.
She commonly helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties.
Background and approach
Lisa also supports people dealing with long-term health issues, caregiver strain, and complex emotional patterns like attachment or codependency. She is familiar with a wide range of concerns including bipolar mood issues, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Her practice is client-centred in style.
That means conversations are guided by the person in the room and what they feel ready to explore. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change and to set achievable steps forward. Sessions focus on practical dialogue and simple tools that can be used between meetings.
Lisa adapts the pace and structure to each person’s needs, aiming for clarity and small, realistic goals. She works collaboratively to shape the direction of therapy based on the person’s priorities. People who feel stuck after loss, struggle with persistent low mood, or are coping with relationship strain often seek her help.
She is available to work with international clients in English and offers a range of online formats to suit different schedules.

Approaches Lisa lists

Online support
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people clarify their own reasons for change. It uses guided conversation to build motivation and set small, achievable steps. This approach can be useful for coping with depression, breaking unhelpful patterns, or tackling practical goals like sleep or routine changes.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for written check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and allow people to choose the format they find most comfortable.
