Dr. Lisa Tomlinson

Dr Lisa Tomlinson works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, addictions and relationship worries. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace and feel listened to. Her manner is warm and hopeful, and she focuses on practical steps to help people manage day-to-day life.

Lisa trained and practised in the NHS and is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has nine years of experience supporting people with mood difficulties, trauma, grief and problems with self-esteem. That background means she is used to helping people with complex or long-standing concerns.

In sessions she uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce distress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT gives skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, mindfulness and trauma-focused work when appropriate.

Lisa pays attention to each person's pace and aims to help people build practical strategies they can use between sessions. She has experience with addictions and process difficulties, including support using Cognitive-Behavioural Integrated Treatment for addictive behaviours. Sessions aim to balance practical tools with understanding the impact of past experiences.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions at times that can suit weekday evenings or Saturdays. If you want to explore whether she could help, follow the site process to begin a match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches can work online and in sessions

CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviour patterns that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, mood problems and some eating concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and managing relationship difficulties. EMDR is an approach used in trauma-focused work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different approaches to see what helps most. Plans are adjusted over time to match needs, preferences and what proves useful in day-to-day life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or skills practice at times that match their routine. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide whether remote or in-person work is the best fit for the issues you want to address.
