Our therapists
Lisa Dixon
Hi. I’m Lisa and I’m hoping you might like me to be your counsellor.
Sometimes feelings can feel a bit too much to handle on your own, sometimes we don’t know where life is headed, sometimes the everyday can seem monotonous or overwhelming. These were some of the reasons I ended up in counselling when I first went. I might seem biased, but counselling was integral in me feeling better. I needed a place where I felt ok to bring my darkest, most vulnerable self without fear of judgement. Now, this is what I aim to offer my clients. I want to help guide you back to you.
I am qualified in integrative therapeutic counselling. What this means for you, as my client is that I will use methods from Person Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis in my work with you. Experience has taught me that different people need different tools, resources and approaches and I am able to be adaptable.
Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in children’s services for over 10 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with many different communities and families. This has helped me to be trauma informed and non-judgemental. I am also trained as a therapeutic life story worker, meaning that I have tools to help explore the past and how it is impacting your day-to-day life.
