Lisa Guy, BACP

Lisa Guy offers a warm, supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic space where people can explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions with care and respect. She works collaboratively to help individuals gain clearer insight into their life experience and to move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life. Lisa recognises that making sense of life events and change can be challenging, and she aims to provide a reliable environment in which people can begin self-exploration, build self-worth and support personal growth.

Working in an integrative way, Lisa draws on several theoretical models and adapts her approach to fit each person's needs. Her practice incorporates person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas, creating a flexible framework that allows clients to examine chosen issues at a pace that feels right for them. This tailored approach supports safe and meaningful work on a range of concerns.

Before training as a counsellor, Lisa spent 19 years working in IT and earlier experience in retail and market research, which has informed her understanding of workplace pressures and how work and personal life influence one another. She has a particular interest in depression, anxiety, stress, workplace and communication issues, self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as family and relationship difficulties, and she brings that focus into the therapeutic space.

Lisa's commitment to counselling grew from hands-on mentoring in IT roles and volunteer work at Norwood and Brixton Foodbank. She is an integrative counsellor with a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling - a professional qualification in counselling - and is a Registered Member of BACP. She continues to develop professionally with a goal to work towards accreditation.
