Lisa Kirk, BACP

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other common life challenges. Lisa aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She focuses on helping clients reconnect with themselves and move toward more fulfilling lives.

Her approach is conversational and tailored. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed script. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the client’s experience and Motivational Interviewing to support change when clients feel stuck. These methods are used to help with anxiety, depression, coping with long-term conditions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Lisa supports people dealing with stress, parenting pressures, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, anger, and career uncertainty. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, neurodiversity-related concerns including autism and Asperger Syndrome, and the effects of chronic illness or cancer on daily life. Her practice addresses both emotional responses and practical coping strategies.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to tailor the pace to what each person needs. Conversations often include exploring feelings, identifying small steps forward, and planning ways to manage setbacks. The goal is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Taking that first step can feel daunting. Lisa offers a calm, compassionate way to begin the process and helps people find clearer direction in their lives.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to a person’s experience and reflecting it back. The aim is to help people feel heard and to build a clearer sense of their own thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people weigh up change and find their own reasons for taking steps forward. It often works well for behaviours that feel stuck, such as changing routines, coping with chronic conditions, or addressing patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the way she works based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a joint process where therapist and client figure out pacing and focus together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and being able to connect from different locations. Online work can make short check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, which helps people keep consistent appointments.
