About Lisa

Lisa Dobinson helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting pressures, career worries, depression, grief and changes in life. She also supports people working on intimacy, self esteem and family conflict. Lisa writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel less daunting.

Lisa works from an integrative humanistic approach. That means she blends ideas from different theories to suit each person. Her training includes person-centred and Gestalt influences, so sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on present experience.

Background and approach

She trained in Ireland where group work was part of the course. That experience sharpened her awareness of body language and what people communicate without words. Lisa often pays attention to somatic cues to help clients notice feelings held in the body.

Lisa also trained with Relate and holds a relational qualification. She uses systemic thinking to recognise patterns that repeat across generations and to help clients understand their habitual responses in relationships. Her practice draws on seven years of experience supporting a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, loss and career challenges.

She keeps learning through ongoing professional development and believes counsellors should continue their own therapy to remain present for clients. Lisa sees helping someone through a hard moment as a privilege. She aims to provide steady, straightforward support while clients work out what changes they want to make and how to get there.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa blends humanistic, relational and somatic ideas so online therapy focuses on what feels most useful to each person. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client’s priorities, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Gestalt-influenced techniques bring attention to present sensations and movements in the body, which can help with anxiety, stress and noticing emotional patterns.

She also uses relational and systemic thinking to look at repeated patterns in relationships and family life. In sessions this often means talking through interactions and spotting recurring dynamics together. Choosing the best approach is a joint process; the counsellor will work with the client to find methods that fit their goals and preferences over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other daily demands while keeping the focus on progress and goals.
