Lisa Kirk

Lisa Kirk is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She focuses on helping people who are coping with relationship difficulties, trauma, grief and life changes.

She works by listening closely and tailoring conversations to each person's situation. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed script. That means starting with where someone is now, naming their priorities, and deciding practical next steps together.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, from stress, anxiety and low mood to more complex challenges such as trauma, bipolar experiences and recurring family conflict. She also offers support for intimacy-related worries, body image concerns, parenting strain, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and difficulties linked to attachment and abandonment.

Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting, non-judgemental space where people can make sense of their feelings. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and keep moving forward.

People who prefer a straightforward, collaborative approach tend to find this style useful. Lisa aims to help people reconnect with themselves and develop realistic, manageable steps. To begin, she asks for some basic information and works with the person to plan the next appointment.

How these counselling approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client make sense of their feelings and choices. It is useful for issues like grief, relationship worries and ongoing stress.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons to change. The counsellor asks open questions and highlights the person’s strengths so they can choose realistic next steps. This approach can support changes in behaviour, routines or coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences at the start and adapt methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide which techniques are used.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. If you prefer to attend remotely, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find online sessions help maintain continuity of care and make regular check-ins more manageable.
