Welcome I am Lisa, a cisgender woman living in Brighton & Hove, and a mother of two young adults.  Life often feels messy, painful and confusing.  By choosing to work with me, we can create a safe and warm space for exploring your  challenges, honouring the joy of being human, and examining some of your ways of relating to yourself and others that no longer feel adaptive.I see clients in-person at a central counselling practice in Hove or online.  I offer short-term (6-12 sessions typically), and open-ended counselling and typically see clients weekly.

I provide a safe space for clients navigating change, identity, and self-acceptance, whether that is coming out, transitioning, healing from emotional, physical, violent or sexual abuse, exploring trauma responses or finding peace with ageing and the body.  Together, we can explore who you are beneath old patterns so you can live more freely, love more deeply, and move forward with authenticity, confidence and sustainable positive change. As a humanistic and neurodivergent friendly therapist, I offer a space where you can bring your whole self and work at your own pace.  

I offer a warm, kind, safe, non-judgemental space for exploring whatever you’re bringing – whether you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or low, or navigating complex questions about relationships, identity, or sexuality. My therapeutic practice integrates IPT-trained interpersonal therapy with anti-racist and non-oppressive principles. I work particularly well with individuals questioning their relationship patterns and wanting to improve their self-love and boundary-setting. As a mixed-race, pansexual person, I understand how these layers matter deeply.  I welcome you exactly as you are and we will work together to find a way forward that works for you.
