About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger. Lisa also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns, sleep and eating issues, and career or life changes.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, and she lists additional focus areas like attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver stress. Those experiences inform how she talks through difficult events and emotional reactions in sessions. Lisa uses straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon.
Sessions aim to help people understand what fuels strong reactions, including anger, and to practice different ways of responding. She draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective, and on motivational interviewing to help plan small, doable steps forward. Expect short practical goals alongside space to talk.
Her style is respectful and direct. Lisa helps people who want clearer communication, fewer outbursts, or less simmering resentment. She also supports those coping with grief, chronic health issues, or changes in parenting and work roles.
People who choose her often want concrete tools and time to reflect. She asks questions, listens to real-life constraints, and works with clients to set manageable next steps. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to arrange a first session and discuss practical arrangements.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the client’s perspective central. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them make sense of their feelings. It is useful when someone wants to understand why they get angry and how their reactions fit with their life.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a method that helps people set small, realistic changes and build the motivation to try them. This can be helpful for making behavioural shifts like pausing before reacting or practising different communication techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences and practical limits, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that focuses on the same goals as face-to-face counselling, such as improving communication, reducing anger flare-ups, and building coping skills.
