About Dr. Lisa Tomlinson
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a clinical psychologist who is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) - the UK regulator for health and care professions. She has spent a decade working within the NHS across a variety of services, supporting people with a broad spectrum of difficulties. Her work is grounded in the belief that therapeutic progress depends on finding a practitioner who inspires trust and feels comfortable to speak with, so she places great emphasis on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship where clients can explore issues at their own pace.
She aims to offer a containing and compassionate space, bringing optimism and the ability to hold hope for people during very challenging moments. Lisa commonly uses an integrated approach to therapy, selecting methods to match each person’s needs. Her practice may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) informed work, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and she applies Cognitive-Behavioural Integrated Treatment (C-BIT) when addressing addictions.
Throughout her practice she focuses on practical collaboration, listening carefully to clients’ goals and adapting techniques to foster understanding, resilience and meaningful change. She also offers sessions outside standard working hours, with availability on weekday evenings and Saturdays.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Dr Lisa Tomlinson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and structured, and is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, phobias and many day-to-day difficulties. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness - it is particularly helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges and patterns of impulsive behaviour. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach designed to reduce the distress linked to traumatic memories by facilitating the processing of those experiences and their emotional impact.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr Tomlinson works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences, and will tailor or combine methods so the work fits the individual rather than asking the individual to fit a single technique.
Online therapy with Dr Tomlinson can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These remote options make it easier to access regular sessions from different locations, support continuity of care, and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and skills in ways that suit the client’s life.
