About Lisa
Lisa Tabanivesikula offers calm, straightforward counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She writes in plain language and works with each person to find what helps.

She uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques. That can include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural tools and hypnotherapy. Lisa emphasises listening first, then choosing methods together so sessions feel relevant and clear rather than confusing.
Background and approach
Sessions are guided by the person in the room and their priorities. Lisa keeps things interactive and grounded, using questions, reflections and exercises to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She aims to make sessions useful between appointments as well as during them.
Her experience spans four years and she is listed with NCPS. Lisa works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients. She is experienced helping with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, trauma and body image issues.
People often come to her for help with sleep problems, relationship and intimacy worries, career stress, parenting strain or coping after major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with eating concerns, anger, financial stress and workplace difficulties. The emphasis is on practical steps, clear goals and respectful collaboration.

How different approaches shape online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, using empathetic listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. It suits situations where someone needs space to speak and be heard while finding their own solutions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it includes hands-on tools to practise between sessions.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, sleep and some trauma-related responses. Sessions aim to support changes in thoughts and behaviour through focused imagery and suggestion when that approach feels appropriate.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options and test what fits the person's goals, preferences and life circumstances. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work while living abroad or during periods when getting to appointments is difficult.
