About Lisa
Lisa Kirk is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of professional experience to her work and aims to help people find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She speaks English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She focuses on practical, person-centred support for relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and career worries. She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and long-term conditions such as chronic pain or illness. Trauma, abuse and bipolar disorder are listed areas she can address.
In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. That can mean gently exploring feelings, identifying what matters most, and setting small steps to try between meetings. Motivational techniques are used to help people find the reasons and energy to make changes they want.
Her approach aims to be respectful and sensitive. The early work usually looks at what feels most urgent and practical, so people can notice small improvements quickly. Lisa seeks to create a calm space where people can talk things through and build coping strategies.
She offers therapy online through video calls, phone, live chat and messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, helps people make sense of their feelings, and follows what matters most to them. This approach is useful for grief, relationship problems, low mood and self-esteem concerns.Motivational Interviewing focuses on boosting a person’s own motivation to change. It uses gentle, goal-focused conversation to explore ambivalence and find practical next steps. This can help with behaviour change, coping strategies and maintaining progress after setbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist collaborate to select a mix of listening, practical tasks and motivational techniques that feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be more accessible when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, reflection between meetings and support that fits around work or caring commitments.
