About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula works with issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem and career questions. She uses an adaptable, collaborative approach and draws on a range of methods to help people talk through problems and find practical ways forward. Lisa is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience.

Lisa offers short, clear sessions that focus on what the person wants to achieve. She listens to the person's priorities, then suggests approaches that may help, including cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused tools. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and ways of coping between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond mood and stress. This includes addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, parenting pressures, workplace and money worries, and relationship challenges. She also lists support around LGBT issues, ADHD and young adult matters.

Lisa describes her style as calm and interactive. She invites people to reflect on their patterns and to experiment with different strategies in session. The focus is on practical change rather than lengthy theory, with options adapted as needs evolve.

People considering counselling are encouraged to think about their goals before booking. Lisa accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and she is registered with NCPS.

Approaches used and how online counselling can fit around life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, offering time to talk and have those concerns heard. It helps with building self-understanding and setting personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support behaviour change and coping, often used alongside other approaches for issues like anxiety or habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a way forward together, checking what is most useful and adjusting as goals change. This means the approach can be blended rather than fixed from the start.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify exact delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, for example opting for phone-based or other arrangements if those are offered. Ask about the practical options when you arrange the first appointment.
