Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £65, available both online and in person.

I also offer a free 15–20 minute discovery call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and see whether working together feels right for you.

Are you trying to reclaim your self-worth after a toxic or abusive relationship, whether with a partner or within your family? Do you feel anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself? Trauma from abuse can leave you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting your own thoughts and feelings. You may feel stuck in survival mode, existing rather than truly living. Therapy can help you begin to heal, regain a sense of control, and reconnect with who you are.

I work with a wide range of clients, specialising in those who are trying to leave, or who have left, abusive family or partner relationships. Together, we focus on breaking trauma bonds, restoring self-worth, and understanding the ways abuse has impacted your mind, body, and emotional well-being. I bring professional expertise as a certified trauma practitioner, alongside personal insight as a survivor of domestic abuse, allowing me to provide compassionate, informed support.

We work in a trauma-informed, client-led way, creating a safe and nurturing space to explore difficult emotions such as shame, guilt, fear, and confusion. Sessions help you understand how trauma affects your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, while developing strategies to manage triggers, rebuild boundaries, and foster resilience.

You do not have to face this journey alone. I offer both online and in-person sessions and a free discovery call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what you hope to achieve. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but healing is possible. Together, we can help you shed the past, reclaim your self-worth, and move forward with your life.

You CAN heal from trauma and abuse – and you deserve support that helps you do just that. Reach out today to start your journey toward safety, clarity, and empowerment.

I work primarily with individuals who are in, trying to leave, or have left abusive family or partner relationships and want to shed trauma bonds and rebuild their self-worth. Abuse, whether emotional, psychological, or physical, can have a profound effect on your sense of self, your confidence, and your ability to trust your own thoughts and feelings. My work focuses on helping you process these experiences in a safe and supportive environment, so you can regain control over your life and start to feel like yourself again.

In addition to my specialism in abusive relationships, I have worked successfully with clients experiencing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, attachment difficulties, co-dependency, ill-health, neurodivergence, and LGBTQ+ matters. I also have experience supporting teenagers and young adults, helping them navigate the unique challenges they face during this important stage of life.

I hold a degree in Psychology and a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer both online therapy across the UK and in-person sessions from therapy rooms in Morley, Leeds, LS27. My approach provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore feelings that may have become overwhelming, gain clarity, and develop practical strategies to manage your emotions. Seeking support when you are struggling can bring relief and help you reconnect with your strengths and resilience.

I have also trained in creative therapy techniques specifically with young people and work with children and adolescents from the age of 14 upwards. My sessions with younger clients aim to combine therapeutic guidance with creative approaches to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and coping skills in a safe and supportive setting.

I offer a trauma-informed approach tailored to your individual needs. You do not have to face this alone – therapy can provide a space for healing, growth, and reconnection with yourself.

I understand how daunting it can feel to take the first step into counselling, and I know that choosing a therapist is a personal decision. To support this, I offer a free discovery call online or over the phone, giving you the chance to ask questions and explore what you hope to achieve through therapy.

If you decide to proceed, we can arrange sessions at a day and time that suits you. I offer both online and in-person sessions, though availability is limited, so early booking is recommended.

Our first session will focus on what you would like to achieve and the issues you wish to explore. This helps us shape therapy around your goals. Weekly sessions are recommended to build the therapeutic relationship, but fortnightly sessions can also be accommodated if that works better for you.

Sessions are £65 and last 50 minutes. In-person appointments take place at the Leeds Treatment Rooms, Morley, LS27 9AN.

I aim to respond promptly to enquiries, and I am here to support you as you begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery. Taking that first step can feel scary, but you do not have to do it alone.

Warm wishes,

Lisa
