About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula welcomes people who are worried about eating, mood or daily overwhelm and want practical help. She offers an approach that adapts to each person, and she aims to make sessions calm and approachable. Her name appears so prospective clients know who they will meet. She uses a mix of methods to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions might include talking through patterns, trying simple exercises, or testing small changes between meetings. The emphasis is on finding what feels useful for the individual rather than following one fixed method. Lisa describes her style as calm, interactive and compassionate. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people feel heard. Conversations are intended to be practical and down-to-earth, so people can try things that fit into their everyday life. Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, body image and eating-related issues, along with relationship strain, grief and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, workplace pressures and other personal challenges. Based in the United Kingdom, Lisa has four years of counselling experience and holds the NCPS credential. Sessions are offered in English and she welcomes international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to her schedule.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions; it works well for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and general life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, stress management and coping with certain symptoms. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That choice happens together and can be adjusted as needed. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also allow people to meet from different locations, which helps when schedules or geography make face-to-face meetings difficult. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs and routine.
