Lisa Seckington

I currently have availability in my practice.  I can offer sessions on Mondays and alternate Wednesdays between 9.30am - 7pm plus Saturdays between 9.30am - 1pm.

Welcome, my name is Lisa, and I am a qualified counsellor working within an integrative person-centred approach. This therapeutic approach puts the client at the heart of the sessions and by working together, can enable you to find solutions to move forward.

Counselling can be an emotional and difficult process however, you can be assured of my commitment. I will listen to you in a safe and confidential space, offering my full support, empathy and freedom from judgement within an ethical therapeutic practice.

I have supported adults who have experienced bereavement and loss, who have appreciated having someone to talk to who was not related, offering them space and freedom to discuss whatever they needed to.

I have also supported adults with depression, anxiety and others who have experienced trauma including sexual abuse plus secondary survivors, having lived with other’s trauma.

I can offer sessions remotely, online or by phone and home visits.

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, full insurance and I'm registered with the ICO.

By regularly working together we can establish a therapeutic relationship which enables you to find solutions and consider ways of moving forward.  As your counsellor I offer support but without telling you what to do, giving you an opportunity to explore and gain clarity.  By supporting you to increase your self-awareness, this puts you in a stronger position to consider your options towards positive change.

Counselling requires work and commitment and at times can be an emotional and difficult process therefore should not be undertaken lightly.  Your role is to be as open as possible and to take responsibility for any changes you want to make, recognising that you are the expert in your life and can determine what your next steps are.

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to make that initial connection to see whether what I offer and my personality feels like a 'good fit' for you.

If you choose to go ahead our first session will consist of an initial assessment giving you the opportunity to explain your reasons for seeking therapy, anything you are struggling with, anything from your past which you feel is relevant and what your goals are for therapy.  This will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
