Lisa Kirk brings a clear, straightforward approach to counselling. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. Lisa aims to make the first step feel achievable and practical for people who are worried or unsure.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Lisa also helps with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career worries.

Background and approach

She works with people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges and anger management too. Her practice pays attention to less commonly spoken issues as well. These include attachment and abandonment worries, autistic experience and Asperger syndrome, personality-related difficulties, body image, kink and alternative sexual culture, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress.

Lisa uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find the motivation to change habits or take difficult steps. Sessions aim to be respectful, sensitive and tailored to each person’s needs.

Lisa supports people who prefer different ways of meeting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. She works with international clients and guides people through a short matching and scheduling process to begin therapy.

How Lisa’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person’s lead. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person discover their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, grief, relationship problems and low self-esteem.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding and strengthening motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective conversation to help people weigh options and commit to practical steps. This is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes in habits or behaviour.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Lisa will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. That collaborative process may mean adapting techniques over time to see what helps most.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial expressions and build rapport, while phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, need flexibility across the day, or want a less formal session style. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to offer consistent, accessible support.
