Lisa Guy, BACP

Lisa Guy is an integrative counsellor who offers a warm, supportive and non-judgemental approach to therapy. She works with people to explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions, helping them gain clearer insight into their life experience and to move toward a more fulfilling life. Lisa recognises how difficult it can be to make sense of life events and transitions, and she aims to provide a dependable therapeutic space where clients can begin self-exploration and build a stronger sense of value and self-worth.

Working integratively, Lisa draws on several theoretical models and tailors her approach to each person’s unique needs. Her practice includes person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas, which together create a safe environment for people to examine the issues they choose to work on at their own pace. She holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling - a vocational counselling qualification - and is a registered member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with a goal to work towards full accreditation.

Before training in counselling, Lisa spent 19 years working in IT and also has experience in retail and market research, which informs her understanding of workplace pressures and how career life can affect personal wellbeing. With three years of counselling experience and volunteer work that includes mentoring and support at Norwood and Brixton Foodbank, she works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, communication and workplace issues, low self-esteem, loneliness and other life changes.
