About LDO Counselling
I wanted to become a counsellor as I wanted to be the person I knew I needed when I was younger. Someone who creates a space where you can truly feel like yourself and feel heard and seen.
I enjoy reading, watching shows, and when life allows for it creating some form of art. I also enjoy leaning into my athletic side when motivated enough.
As a BACP Registered Member with over 4+ years experience, I want to show you that in some of the messy moments of life, when you slow down and look, there can be beauty.
How I Work
I work with you, and the sessions are adapted to you as a person and what is needed for you to get the most out of the sessions. That to me is what person-centred counselling is. The importance is placed on the relationship that we have together to create an environment that helps you grow and heal.
Life often has its ups and downs, and it can be tough to talk to the people you have around you due to a variety of reasons such as fear of judgement or being dismissed. That is why the sessions are a safe, non-judgemental counselling space for you to explore anything freely. You can truly be yourself, and feel seen and heard throughout the process of your healing journey.
If you are seeking support through life’s challenges, wanting to explore certain experiences or issues, or even if you are hoping to build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others around you then I am the counsellor you need.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation call. This will give us the opportunity to talk through what you want to achieve with therapy, my way of working and whether that would be best suited with what you want to achieve.
Throughout my counselling training, I spent time working at an organisation that specifically helped support people with a range of emotional and mental health issues after they experienced sexual trauma. My time spent working in that organisation has fostered a strong sense of being a safe presence for whatever the client brings into the counselling room.
I can offer support with:
Sexual Trauma
Depression
Anxiety
Self Confidence/Esteem
Identity
Overwhelm and Stress
Teen Mental Health
In general, I found it really helpful and positive to discuss things with Lisa, that I haven't opened up about before. I think this means she was able to create an environment that I felt safe to talk in even when there were some very difficult and uncomfortable discussions.
