About Lisa

Lisa Tabanivesikula is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people navigating stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, sleep problems, addiction concerns and career pressures. Lisa also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, body image worries and divorce and separation issues.

Her style is calm and collaborative. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, using straightforward techniques to manage difficult feelings and find practical steps forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred approaches and hypnotherapy as part of a wider toolkit.

Lisa describes her work as interactive and compassionate. She encourages open conversation and helps people set small, achievable goals that fit their lives. Many sessions involve looking at thinking patterns, trying simple coping strategies and working on clearer decision making.

With four years of experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Lisa aims to tailor each session to the client’s needs and preferences. She welcomes people who want to understand their reactions better and build skills for everyday challenges.

Clients can expect a practical, person-focused approach that balances talking through issues with hands-on techniques. Lisa emphasises gentle support while helping people make changes at a steady pace.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a strict technique. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you say and helping you find your own answers; this can be useful for building self-understanding and handling relationship or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reduce unhelpful habits or manage symptoms such as sleep difficulty and stress. It is used alongside talking therapies rather than instead of them.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Lisa will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try shorter check-ins when needed and take part from a quieter location or during a break from work.
