About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a counsellor who helps people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She makes time to build trust and wants clients to feel comfortable talking about difficult things. Lisa works at a calm pace and aims to bring warmth and compassion into sessions.
She trained as a Clinical Psychologist and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. Over nine years she has worked in the NHS across several services, gaining experience with a wide range of problems.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical approach to everyday struggles. In sessions she combines methods rather than sticking to one model. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and trauma-focused techniques to address mood, anxiety and relationship concerns.
Therapy focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions. Lisa also works with issues linked to addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, grief, anger and coping with life changes. She pays particular attention to attachment, abandonment and adoption or foster care experiences when these are relevant to a person’s difficulties.
Her way of working is collaborative. She listens to what matters to the person and helps set realistic goals. Practical skills, mindfulness and guided reflection are used when they fit the client’s goals.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which many people find easier to fit into busy lives. International clients can be seen in English.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your history, current problems and what you want to achieve. Together you will choose which methods to try and review progress, adapting the plan if something does not fit your needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and ways to fit sessions around work or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while still saving travel time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can help maintain contact between sessions or suit people who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or travel is difficult.
