I am an experienced, qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working in Wantage, Oxfordshire. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and have worked for a number of years with both charitable organisations as well as private practice. I am an integrative psychotherapist, which means I use a range of modalities and techniques to help clients. I believe we are all individuals and work through problems differently. I tailor my therapy to work with the client and respect that individuality. I work with many neurodiverse clients who have struggled with making sense of a largely neurotypical world. My approach is to help clients understand and embrace their neurodiversity so that it can be positive aspect of their life experience.
Whether you want to explore a specific issue, want support during a difficult period in your life, or want to explore your past experiences more in-depth, I provide both short-term and long-term therapy to suit your needs. I offer a safe and confidential environment in which we can explore the basis of any problems or anxieties which may be getting in the way of living a happy and fulfilling life.
Can you imagine feeling calmer, more settled, and self-aware?
Experiencing the frustration and struggle of needing to explain everything to something who doesn’t understand?
As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with lived experience of ADHD, I can help you to explore what is going on for you, whether in your head, inside your body or wherever you feel that feeling that things are not OK right now.
With the #livedexperience of ADHD and neurodivergence, I hope to explore the emotional impact, the emotional cost and the potential for growth and change for you.
I currently see lots of people who are struggling with what life has thrown at them, and people who have been struggling for a long time. I recognise these tendencies and hope to provide the connection, empathy and understanding that can make the difference to you.
Whether you were diagnosed as a child or have had a recent adult ADHD diagnosis and need support in coming to terms with it, or you suspect you may have ADHD – I would like to help.
Hello! I am Lisa. I Have more than fourteen years’ experience in Counselling. After gaining my qualification from the Iron Mil Institute in Devon, I supported young people and adults across educational, and community settings. For the past six years, I’ve specialised in counselling ADHD woman from sixteen years old and above.
As an ADHD woman myself, I am passionate about focusing on empowering woman to ride the waves of being ADHD at every stage of life.
I work in an integrative way, combining the following therapies depending on your needs and personality:
1 – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): learning how your beliefs affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
2 – Humanistic Therapy: working in a way that puts you in the driving seat, clarifying your needs now and in the future.
3 – Mindfulness: paying attention to what is going on inside and outside of ourselves from moment to moment.
4 – Gestalt Therapy: sensing your mind, body, and soul connection, seeing how you show up in your day-to-day life and relate to the people around you.
