About Lisa

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship strain. Lisa aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion to help them move forward.

She works in a collaborative way that centres the client. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the person in front of her. That might mean talking through relationship or family difficulties, processing trauma and abuse, or finding ways to cope with big life changes.

Lisa adapts the pace and focus to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred therapy to make space for people’s own priorities. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to explore change and build momentum.

She also supports people dealing with practical and emotional issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career worries and chronic illness. Additional areas of focus include attachment concerns, body image, neurodiversity and intimacy-related matters.

Sessions aim to help people understand their reactions, try out new ways of coping and set small, realistic goals. Lisa encourages straightforward conversation and works to make the therapy process clear and manageable for someone starting out.

To begin, she asks people to share what they want to change and what matters most to them. That information helps shape a working plan and the next steps together.

How her approaches translate online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a space to talk things through, build self-understanding and set their own priorities.

Motivational interviewing helps people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to begin. It uses guided conversation to explore reasons for change and to strengthen commitment to practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods and pace suit the person's needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also give flexibility to arrange appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities, helping therapy to fit day-to-day routines more easily.
