About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or struggles with addiction. She aims to build a calm and non-judgemental space where someone can talk about what is happening for them. She is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, HCPC.
Lisa draws on a blend of practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and cope with hard moments. She uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness practices. Sessions move at a pace set by the person attending and focus on small, useful steps between meetings.
Her background includes work across NHS services with people facing a range of difficulties. That NHS experience has shaped how she plans clear, manageable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Her style is warm and optimistic, and she aims to offer steady support through difficult times.
Common issues she addresses include mood and anxiety problems, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and a broad range of addictive behaviours and process addictions. She also pays attention to attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, and the emotional effects of abandonment.
People choosing to work with Lisa will find a practical, collaborative approach. She helps identify coping strategies, reduce distressing symptoms, and build more helpful patterns in everyday life. Sessions are organised to fit around each person’s needs and circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviours. Online sessions can focus on setting small experiments between meetings and reviewing what works for daily life.DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone copes in tense moments. In remote sessions this often looks like practising skills together and planning short exercises to use when stress rises.
EMDR and trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions. When used online, the therapist guides grounding and processing steps and checks progress carefully across sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is assessed.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit around family life, allow evening appointments and cut travel time. It can also make shorter check-ins easier and give more scheduling flexibility for those juggling work and other commitments.
