Lisa | Person-Centred Counsellor

When life feels overwhelming, heavy, or difficult to untangle alone, having a calm, understanding space can make a real difference.

Experience and Background
I'm a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

My experience includes working within NHS Talking Therapies, supporting people experiencing anxiety, stress and depression. I’ve also supported unpaid carers and individuals navigating homelessness and bring a deep respect for the resilience people carry through difficult circumstances.

Through my work as a social prescriber, I’ve supported people living with long‑term health conditions and chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, diabetes and COPD, and understand how these experiences can affect emotional wellbeing.

Who I Support

I work with adults aged 18 and over. 

People often come to counselling when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost, or unsure how to move forward. 

You might be struggling with anxiety, self‑doubt, low self‑esteem, a life transition, grief or loss, or a sense that you’ve lost touch with who you are. 

My Therapeutic Style

My style is warm, grounded and compassionate. 

Alongside my person-centred foundation, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which can help you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while gently exploring what matters most to you and how you want to move forward.

I won’t rush you or push you into places you’re not ready to go. Instead, we’ll explore your experiences together with curiosity and care, creating space for clarity, self‑understanding and meaningful change.

In-Person Sessions in DN32

I offer 50-minute in-person sessions from a quiet, private space in the heart of Grimsby, easily accessible from Cleethorpes and surrounding areas in North East Lincolnshire.

It's a calm, grounding environment where you can step away from the noise of daily life and settle into a space that's just for you.

Online Therapy Across the UK

I also work online with clients anywhere in the UK, using secure video sessions that offer the same warmth and presence as being in the room together.

Online therapy can be especially helpful if you need flexibility around work, caring responsibilities, health, or mobility.

A Flexible Approach
I offer afternoon, early-evening and weekend appointments, with some flexibility where possible.

Sessions last 50 minutes and unfold at your pace. You don't need to prepare anything or arrive with the "right" words  - we simply begin wherever you are.

During our initial contact we can talk through what you're looking for, your preferred way of working, and any practical considerations that might help you feel comfortable.

Your Introductory Call
Before beginning therapy, I offer a free 15-30 minute introductory call by telephone or online.

This is a gentle, no-obligation space where you can share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether my way of working feels right for you.

There's no pressure to decide anything during the call - it's simply a chance for us to meet and see how it feels.

Your First Full Session
If you choose to go ahead, our first full 50-minute session will be slightly different from the sessions that follow.

We'll take time to go through the counselling agreement, confidentiality, payment, and any practical details that help you feel safe and informed. We'll also talk about what you're hoping for from therapy and what feels most important for us to focus on.

A Steady Start
