About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Her style is warm and hopeful, with an emphasis on listening first and moving at a pace that feels right for each person.
She draws on a mix of practical approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mindfulness, trauma-focused work and EMDR.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear strategies you can use between meetings alongside time to process difficult feelings. The work balances skills-building with talking through painful memories or patterns. Lisa trained and practised for years in NHS services, supporting people with a wide range of problems.
That background shaped a straightforward, evidence-aware way of working that keeps everyday life and practical goals in view. She aims to help people regain coping skills and a sense of direction. People often come with issues such as mood difficulties, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, panic, eating and sleeping problems, or struggles with self-esteem and attachment.
She also addresses addiction-related concerns and the emotional impact of abandonment or adoption and foster care experiences. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for international clients. Lisa has nine years of professional experience and holds HCPC registration as a clinical psychologist.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, panic and obsessive or compulsive patterns. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to reduce extreme reactions and build steadier routines. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and is often used when people feel stuck by past events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and struggles, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans can change as progress is made, and techniques from different approaches can be combined to suit needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging suits shorter reflections or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
