Lisa Tabanivesikula, NCPS

Lisa Tabanivesikula welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk through immediate worries and long-standing concerns. Lisa aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow for someone reading on a phone or juggling life’s demands.

Lisa uses approaches chosen to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. She blends elements of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable steps that build confidence and reduce distress over time.

Her style is calm, interactive and compassionate. She gives people space to tell their story and helps them spot patterns that keep problems going. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and move toward clearer choices.

Common issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career worries, depression and addiction. She also works on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and eating or body image difficulties. Additional focuses listed include chronic illness, workplace problems and money worries.

Lisa has four years of practice and holds NCPS as her listed credential. She offers sessions from the United Kingdom and runs appointments in English. People who live outside the UK can also work with her online. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

How Lisa’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps clients find their own solutions; this approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, stress responses and certain emotional patterns; some people find it useful alongside talking therapies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what you want to change, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. Your preferences, needs and responses guide which techniques are used and when to switch focus.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and fuller exchanges. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a longer check-in is needed without being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity even when schedules change.
