About Lisa

Lisa Bird is a wife, mother, grandmother and dog owner who brings a lifetime of personal insight to her work as a therapist. She first encountered counselling more than 20 years ago and describes that experience as transformative, which inspired a long-standing commitment to support others through their own challenges.

Her core training draws on Petruska Clarkson’s Integrative Psychotherapy, with particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and creating an atmosphere of safety, empathy and warmth. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has four years of professional practice in the UK.

Lisa has particular experience working with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger management, and she also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, grief, addictions, and coping with life changes. She works collaboratively with people to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment, helping clients find practical ways to manage emotions and improve relationships.

Recognising that beginning therapy can take courage, she acknowledges and supports that step, guiding each person at a pace that suits their needs and goals.

Attachment and CBT approaches in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people understand connection, separation, and attachment-related hurt so they can develop more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves. Client-Centered Therapy centres the person seeking help, offering a non-directive, empathic approach that prioritises the client’s experience and personal goals; this method supports self-exploration, confidence building, and improved self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works collaboratively to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as progress and insight emerge in sessions.



Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access support from licensed professionals and therapists. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to receive care from the comfort of their chosen environment while maintaining regular contact and continuity of support.
