About Lisa Kinsella
Lisa Kinsella is a person-centred counsellor with a BSc Hons and an EMDR practitioner who is a member of the BACP. She uses a client-led approach that honours each person’s unique experience, encouraging people to lead the pace and direction of their sessions while supporting them to discover their own solutions.
With six years of professional practice, Lisa combines person-centred work with EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - a trauma-informed method often used to process distressing memories. Her BSc Hons indicates a bachelor-level degree with honours, and her membership of the BACP reflects affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom.
Alongside her private practice, Lisa works with young people in alternative provision, bringing experience of supporting those with additional learning needs and those placed in non-mainstream education because of personal circumstances. She also has substantial experience working with people affected by domestic abuse and with the psychological impact associated with narcissistic relationships.
Lisa aims to create a non-judgemental space where individuals can feel heard and supported as they explore hurt, loss, and life transitions. She recognises that seeking counselling can feel daunting and offers an empathetic, respectful approach to help people move toward greater understanding of themselves. Evening appointments are offered by request - individuals are invited to make contact to discuss availability.
