EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals heal from the emotional distress and psychological symptoms caused by traumatic experiences. This innovative treatment method involves the use of bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, to facilitate the processing of traumatic memories. During EMDR sessions, clients focus on specific distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in directed eye movements. This dual attention process helps to reduce the emotional charge associated with the memory, allowing for adaptive resolution and integration.
EMDR has been extensively researched and proven effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related conditions. It empowers clients to transform the impact of past trauma, leading to significant improvements in emotional regulation, self-esteem, and overall mental well-being. Lisa is trained in EMDR and committed to providing compassionate, personalised care to support your journey toward healing and recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognised and effective treatment approach for a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with healthier, more constructive ways of thinking and acting. By understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, clients learn practical strategies to manage and reduce their symptoms.
CBT is goal-oriented and typically short-term, making it an efficient and accessible therapy option. Our skilled psychologists are dedicated to providing individualised CBT treatment plans, tailored to meet your unique needs and help you achieve lasting positive change. Whether you're struggling with everyday stressors or more significant mental health challenges, CBT can empower you to develop the skills necessary for improved emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.

Schema Therapy is an integrative therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic concepts to help individuals identify and change deeply ingrained patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. These patterns, known as schemas, often develop early in life and can significantly impact one's emotional well-being and relationships.
Schema Therapy aims to uncover and address these core schemas, providing clients with the tools to break free from negative cycles and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of coping. By focusing on both the past and present, this therapy fosters deep emotional healing and promotes long-term change.
Lisa is trained in Schema Therapy and is committed to creating a supportive, compassionate environment where clients can explore and transform their life patterns. Whether you're dealing with chronic depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, Schema Therapy offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and overcoming your challenges, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Art Therapy is a creative therapeutic approach that uses the process of making and interpreting art to improve mental and emotional well-being. By engaging in various artistic activities, such as drawing, painting, and sculpting, clients can express thoughts and feelings that might be difficult to articulate with words alone. This form of therapy helps individuals explore their inner experiences, gain insights, and foster personal growth and healing.
Art Therapy is effective for people of all ages and can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can freely create and reflect, guiding them through the therapeutic process with empathy and support.
I believe in the transformative power of art to unlock self-expression, enhance self-awareness, and promote overall mental health. Whether you're seeking to process complex emotions or simply explore your creative potential, Art Therapy offers a unique and enriching pathway to emotional well-being.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand and transform their emotional experiences. Rooted in the belief that emotions are key to identity and guide individual choices and behaviors, EFT works by helping clients become more aware of their emotions, understand their significance, and use this understanding to make positive changes.
EFT is particularly effective for addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Through this therapy, clients learn to better manage their emotions, resolve emotional conflicts, and strengthen their emotional intelligence. The process involves exploring deep emotional experiences in a safe and supportive environment, guided by a compassionate therapist.
Lisa is edicated to helping clients achieve emotional balance and resilience. By focusing on the core of emotional experiences, EFT empowers individuals to create meaningful change and enhance their overall mental health and relationships. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions or seeking to deepen your emotional connections, Emotion-Focused Therapy offers a transformative path to healing and personal growth.
