About Lisa

Lisa Badman-Dunphy is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings four years of counselling practice and over two decades of earlier work in health visiting, sexual health, older persons' mental health and special educational needs and disabilities. Lisa offers one-to-one online and phone sessions, and usually meets clients once a week.

She focuses on helping people understand why they feel and behave as they do.

Background and approach

Sessions look at emotions, thoughts and patterns that started in the past but play out now. This can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems and feelings of emptiness. Lisa uses a psychodynamic approach that encourages talking freely about memories, relationships and recurring themes.

The aim is to bring hidden influences into view so people can make different choices. Work can be short term or open ended depending on what feels right. She also supports people with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, parenting stress, career worries and ADHD-related concerns.

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, ageing and caregiver stress, and aspects of alternative sexual culture. Lisa values openness, empathy and respect in the room. She seeks to create a non-judgemental space where clients can feel heard and begin to explore change.

Sessions are offered in English and are conducted from the United Kingdom.

Ways of working Lisa names

Psychodynamic Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Psychodynamic work online and practical session options

Psychodynamic therapy looks at the links between past relationships and current feelings. It encourages free talking about memories, relationships and recurring patterns so hidden influences can be noticed and understood. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and long-standing patterns of feeling or behaviour.

Therapy is collaborative and finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what suits the person seeking help. Together they will choose whether to work for a short period or in an open-ended way, and which session format fits practical needs.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can suit those who need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible, written exchanges when that fits someone’s routine. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping regular weekly contact if desired.
