About Lisa
Lisa Kinsella is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers focused support for issues such as anger, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She also works with people facing grief, addiction, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles.
Lisa uses a person-centred approach where the client leads the conversation. She listens to what matters to the individual and helps them make sense of feelings that feel overwhelming. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and regain a clearer sense of control over how they act and react.
She also works with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, commonly known as EMDR, to address distressing memories and traumatic reactions when appropriate. Lisa blends that with solution-focused techniques to identify short-term steps and practical changes that can reduce flare-ups of anger and reactivity.
Alongside her private work she provides counselling in alternative provision settings. That experience underpins her work with people who have additional learning needs or who have been affected by domestic abuse and narcissistic behaviours. She is comfortable supporting people who have experienced complex or repeated harm.
Sessions are aimed at adults. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Lisa uses person-centred practice to follow what the client brings to each session. That means online work often begins with the client saying what feels most urgent, and the counsellor reflecting and helping to organise those concerns into manageable steps.She offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a way to work with distressing memories and reactions that fuel anger. EMDR involves structured processing of past events to reduce their hold on current feelings. She also uses solution-focused therapy to set short-term goals and small changes that reduce reactivity and improve everyday functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will discuss options with the client, try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences, and adapt the plan as work progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quieter follow-ups when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep sessions practical and accessible without promising a particular outcome.
