About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula welcomes people who are trying to cope with stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She helps with practical issues like sleeping difficulties, self-esteem, career worries and relationship concerns. Lisa also supports people facing health-related challenges such as chronic pain, illness and cancer, and those living with addiction, grief or trauma.

She works in a calm, interactive way that aims to put the client at the centre of the work. Sessions are collaborative and flexible, with the person and their goals guiding what happens next. Lisa draws on a mix of methods so conversations tend to focus on what is useful right now and what can change over time.

Lisa trained as a pluralistic counsellor and also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy as part of her practice. She explains approaches plainly and helps people understand how different methods might help with thinking patterns, emotional responses and day-to-day coping.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. People can expect straightforward talk, practical exercises and time to reflect on progress between sessions. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that build toward clearer thinking and steadier mood.

Lisa has four years of experience and holds NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. If you are considering therapy, she invites you to begin with a brief matching process and a conversation about what you want to achieve.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions, which can help with stress, self-esteem and relationship questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what matters to the client and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That decision is shared and reviewed as goals change.

Check the session options before booking so you know which formats the therapist currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access support from outside their local area, which can be useful for those managing health conditions or caring responsibilities.
