Psychotherapy Training and Accreditation
Lisa has a Masters in Psychotherapy and a Higher Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School (DBS). She holds a Professional Certificate in Relationship Therapy and is an accredited member of IAHIP, following the IAHIP code of ethics and attending regular supervision.
Counselling and Psychotherapy Approach
Lisa concentrates on nurturing a strong, trusting client/therapist relationship, as she believes this is the key component that can allow healing and growth to occur in the therapeutic space. She follows a Psychodynamic/Integrative path, which means she helps clients to explore their past and present experiences to help them better understand their thoughts, worries and behaviour. She believes that this approach is key to developing knowledge and awareness that can drive change for the better, while also integrating helpful strategies from other styles of therapy.
Ultimately, she aims to create a safe and supportive space, which is free from judgement, and wants people to achieve their potential by uncovering their own inner wisdom and making choices that are right for them. Her approach is therefore tailored to each individual and their specific needs.
Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
Lisa has worked for over a decade in therapy centres in Dublin with people from a wide range of backgrounds and who have presented with a range of problems. These include but are not limited to: anxiety; stress; depression; grief; relationship problems; and low self-esteem. She has supported people through traumatic events, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, relationship breakdown, illness, bereavement, and significant life changes.
Couples Therapy
Lisa has completed additional training in relationship therapy and also offers support to couples. Her approach to couples therapy is not centred on having the answers or giving a judgement in each unique case, but instead she aims to create a safe place where both individuals can build awareness, understand their behaviour and reactions, communicate more clearly, and find their own answers.Â
She is especially interested in working with couples who may be experiencing problems with: emotional or sexual distance; loss of trust; affairs and betrayal; differences around parenting, family, money or intimacy; major life transitions; uncertainty about whether to remain together; and relationships that feel increasingly disconnected or stuck.
Before each first session Lisa will conduct a short call with each partner and ask them both to fill in a short assessment form.
