About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula is a counsellor registered with the NCPS with four years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with anger and relationship difficulties. Sessions are presented as collaborative conversations aimed at practical change rather than labels or tests.

Her work draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her, while also using specific strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour when needed. Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool to support things like sleep or anxiety when a client wants it.

Lisa describes her style as calm and interactive. She prefers short-term goals and solution-oriented steps when appropriate, and will also follow deeper patterns that show up in recurring problems. She aims to help people notice the links between feelings, thoughts and actions and to choose different responses in daily life.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, sleep problems, addictions, self-esteem, career issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image, parenting, ADHD and anger. She also notes additional focus on chronic illness, cancer, financial worries and workplace issues.

Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are carried out in English. For anyone considering work with her, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by arranging an initial session to agree goals and practical steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches work online

Lisa uses client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online work. Client-centred practice means the conversation is led by the person’s priorities and feelings, helping them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns and testing small practical changes that reduce distress or reactivity.

She may also offer hypnotherapy as part of the toolkit when a client wants that approach for issues such as sleep or anxiety. Hypnotherapy in this context is described as a guided method to support relaxation and habit change alongside talking therapy.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree on an approach to try. That collaboration includes checking how techniques are going and adjusting them over time.

If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it simpler to maintain continuity while travelling or working remotely. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists typically help clients choose practical arrangements that suit everyday life.
