About Lisa Bird
Her foundational training draws on Petruska Clarkson’s Integrative Psychotherapy, with particular attention to the therapeutic relationship and the creation of a safe, empathic environment. That training underpins how she works with clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and a range of life transitions. Lisa is credentialed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional registration in the UK.
Clients can expect an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are explored collaboratively. She helps people navigate challenges such as grief, addiction, family conflict, compassion fatigue and workplace issues, while also addressing more specific concerns including attachment and abandonment, panic attacks, social anxiety, midlife questions and women's issues. Taking the first step to seek support can take courage, and Lisa aims to honour that courage while helping clients find practical and personal ways forward.

How Attachment, Client-Centered Work and CBT Translate Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings of safety, trust and connection. In practice this approach helps people explore patterns in their close relationships, process feelings about abandonment or attachment wounds and build more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathy, acceptance and gentle reflection so clients can find their own solutions. This approach supports people coping with low self-esteem, life changes, grief and questions about life purpose.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic and depression through focused exercises and skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with each person to identify goals, consider different methods and adapt the work to fit individual needs and preferences, helping to decide which combination of approaches feels most useful.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules and from different locations. These formats allow registered professionals to offer continuity of care, flexible scheduling and convenient ways to follow up between sessions while maintaining the therapeutic relationship.
