About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Tabanivesikula is a member of NCPS and has four years' experience working with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress and relationship issues. She speaks English and offers services from the United Kingdom. Lisa aims to work with adults who want practical help with things like sleep, self-esteem, career and coping with life changes.
Her style is collaborative and person-focused. She uses methods drawn from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy, along with psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when these suit the person. Sessions are conversational and include ways to notice patterns, try new ways of thinking, and practise small changes between meetings.
Lisa describes her sessions as calm and interactive. She listens to what matters most and helps people set clear goals. Practical steps and short-term tools are often combined with attention to longer standing patterns and feelings.
She also offers support for issues such as addiction, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related matters and parenting stress. Additional areas listed are body image, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, money problems, and workplace issues.
International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How Lisa uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps when someone needs space to talk and make their own decisions about change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It works well for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching practical steps and exercises to try between sessions.
Hypnotherapy can be used alongside talking work to support relaxation and change in habits. It may be offered for issues such as sleep, confidence or managing stress when the person and therapist agree it could help.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lisa works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress as therapy goes on and adjusts the plan where needed.
The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or after work. Different formats suit different needs, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you make your first appointment.
