About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and mood difficulties. She is introduced by name so readers know who they will meet. Lisa is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has nine years of experience working in clinical settings.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include depression, grief, sleep or eating problems, anger, relationship issues and trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports work around attachment, body image, obsessional problems and process addictions such as gambling or exercise. Her way of working is collaborative and down to earth. She aims to build trust and to offer calm, non-judgemental listening.
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps as well as understanding what keeps problems going. Lisa mixes approaches to suit each person. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
She chooses techniques that fit the concern, whether that means managing panic, tackling compulsions, or processing difficult memories. Clients can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to meet her. She accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How specific therapies are used online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing unhelpful behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, panic, obsessions and mood problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping when overwhelmed by stress or self-destructive patterns. EMDR helps people process distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided attention; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then pick techniques together. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls suit longer therapy sessions and face-to-face style discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts or situations when typing fits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to fit support around daily life.
