About Lisa

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Her approach is warm and respectful, with a focus on helping people reconnect with themselves and their priorities.

She works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and parenting challenges. Lisa also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life-change pressures.

Background and approach

Other areas she addresses include anger, self-esteem and complex conditions such as bipolar and chronic illness. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed script. Lisa adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs, using practical listening and motivational techniques.

People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style that focuses on small, realistic steps. Her work also considers attachment, abandonment, communication problems and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She is open to discussing less common concerns too, including kink and alternative sex culture, codependency and caregiver stress.

Therapy aims to be a steady process rather than a quick fix. Lisa encourages honest, paced dialogue and helps people try new ways of coping. She supports clients through difficult decisions and transitions, and works to build clearer choices for the future.

Online support

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions aim to make the client feel heard and to clarify what they want to change, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that explores a person’s own reasons for change. It helps people resolve uncertainty and build momentum for actions such as parenting adjustments, coping with health issues, or working through lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt methods to fit what the client needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and adjusted over time.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can work well for shorter check-ins, flexible timing or when writing helps organise thoughts.
