Lisa Tabanivesikula offers straightforward, adaptable counselling that begins with what matters to the client. She makes space for people to say what is hard and works alongside them to find practical ways forward. Communication is calm and unhurried, with a focus on real-life changes rather than jargon-filled explanations.

She uses a mix of well-known methods including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques, plus hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and techniques are chosen to fit each person’s situation.

Background and approach

This means sessions can feel different from week to week depending on what is needed. Her style is warm and compassionate. Lisa aims to create an environment where people can talk openly about stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship worries, sleep problems, and other concerns.

She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, body image and workplace issues among other focuses. With four years of experience and the NCPS credential, Lisa brings practical counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who want to address career pressures, parenting strain, financial anxiety, eating or intimacy-related issues, ADHD-related challenges, and change after separation or illness.

Sessions are available online in English and can suit people who prefer video, phone, live chat or text-based formats. Lisa helps people take small steps that build into clearer thinking and steadier coping over time.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist reflects what you say and helps you clarify your own goals, which can be useful for stress, low mood, or when you want to better understand your reactions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and panic or low mood.

Hypnotherapy combines relaxed focus with guided imagery and suggestions to shift habits or reduce anxiety. It can be offered alongside other techniques for things like sleep issues, pain management, or confidence work.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the client to agree goals and try different methods until a good fit is found. This means clients help shape the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for their life.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for timing, energy levels and the kind of session they prefer.
