Lisa Badman-Dunphy, BACP

That experience shapes how she notices practical pressures and complex life contexts when meeting someone for the first time. Lisa uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour. Sessions explore patterns, relationships and unconscious dynamics that often show up as anxiety, low mood, or difficulties in intimacy and self-esteem.

Typical concerns she works with include stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and issues around identity and self-worth. She also supports people navigating parenting, career challenges, eating and body image concerns, ADHD and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide whether to meet for a short focused period or keep working in an open-ended way.

Sessions are usually weekly, and the practical formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Lisa values empathy, openness and respect. She welcomes people from diverse communities including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and those practising ethical non-monogamy or sex-positive lives, and aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood.
