I'm Lisa, a person-centred counsellor working with adults in Bude, Cornwall, online, and through walk-and-talk sessions in the Cornish countryside. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone.
The Therapy Room, a safe, warm, confidential environment, where you are welcomed with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding.
This calm, private space is designed to help you feel comfortable and at ease, offering the freedom to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Here, the focus is on the relationship between us, built on trust, respect, and acceptance, so you can be fully seen, heard, and supported in your journey.
Online sessions are via Zoom. Our Zoom sessions take place in a safe, warm, and confidential virtual space, where you are welcomed with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding.
Even online, the focus is on building a trusting, supportive relationship, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Whether you're at home or elsewhere, this space is yours to feel seen, heard, and supported, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
For those who feel more at ease in nature, being outdoors can create a more relaxed, spacious environment that helps you open up, process emotions, and feel more grounded. I have access to open fields near where I live.
Walking side by side, rather than sitting face to face can sometimes make it easier to explore difficult feelings or thoughts. It can be especially helpful if you are feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected.
Sessions take place at a gentle pace and I will always prioritise your comfort and confidentiality.
I work primarily from a Person-Centred foundation, which means I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you as you explore your inner world, helping you to reconnect with your own wisdom and resilience.
While Person-Centred therapy is at the core of my approach, I also draw on broader humanistic perspectives, integrating elements from other modalities when and only if it supports your process. Everything I do is tailored to your needs and preferences.
I am here to walk alongside you, wherever you are—whether you're navigating lived experiences, loss and bereavement, identity questions and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My aim is to create a relationship where you feel safe, seen, truly heard and supported as you find your own way forward. I am also committed to ongoing learning, personal development, and professional supervision.
Taking the time you need to explore your feelings at your own pace.
A non-judgmental space where you can be yourself without fear.
Understanding and validating your experiences with genuine care.
Walking alongside you as you navigate your journey.
Hi, I'm Lisa, a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor.
My own life experiences shaped my decision to become a counsellor. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support and how important it is to feel truly heard. This path felt like a natural choice for me and I have always found it a privilege to walk alongside others as they find their own way forward.
Living in a rural community and being married to a dairy farmer has also given me insight into the impact of isolation and reduced access to support that is often experienced in farming and rural life.
I also have four years of experience in teaching counselling courses, which has been both rewarding and challenging.
I believe that challenging ourselves helps us to grow and develop as individuals. Ultimately, my passion is to help others recognise what they cannot see in themselves and help facilitate positive change to increase self-belief and resilience to be able to live a fuller, functioning life that is full of your own choices.
I had a complete emotional breakdown and was recommended to Lisa. Lisa's approach is very professional from the start, never pushy, always listening before making any comments and never judgemental.
Lisa was able to help me identify areas that were causing stress, and gave helpful suggestions on how I could address these so as to lower my anxiety. She was also able to help me work out a safe space when I was at my worst and a plan to implement when I felt myself heading out of control.
Although I was offered help through the NHS, the waiting times are long, and even then they can only offer a limited number of weeks. Lisa is completely flexible on how often you are seen, I started with weekly and have progressed to longer intervals, although if I do have a bad patch, I have been able to be seen earlier to help me through.
I thoroughly recommend Lisa.
