About Lisa
Lisa Tabanivesikula offers straightforward, practical support for parents feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. She writes in plain terms and focuses on what will make day-to-day life easier. Conversations centre on the challenges you bring and on workable steps you can try between sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches chosen to suit each person. Sessions are calm and interactive, with an emphasis on listening first and planning next. Lisa helps clients untangle stress, sleep problems, low mood and parenting pressures so they can make clearer choices.
Background and approach
Lisa trained as a counsellor and holds the NCPS credential, which she uses alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Her style is empathetic and down-to-earth rather than clinical. She aims to make sessions feel manageable, especially when emotions are intense.
In practice she focuses on simple tools - small behaviour changes, problem-solving and short exercises you can try at home. She also brings in deeper reflection when talking about long-standing patterns or trauma. The goal is to reduce immediate strain and build longer-term coping skills.
Lisa works with people on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. Parenting is listed among her areas of focus and she supports parents struggling with stress, boundaries and the emotional toll of caring for others. She welcomes international clients and speaks English.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Lisa uses client-centred work to create a listening space where the parent sets the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to build clearer goals before trying new strategies.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT is useful for worries, sleep problems and low mood because it gives simple steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around short breaks. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different time zones and to keep therapy flexible around parenting schedules, work and travel.
