About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, stress or difficult life changes. She works plainly and calmly, offering a reassuring space where someone can talk through fears, low mood, relationship strain or struggles with addiction. She is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, HCPC, and brings nine years of practice experience to her work in the United Kingdom.
Clients can expect sessions paced to their needs with a warm, non-judgemental approach. Lisa focuses on building trust first, then works with each person to set manageable goals. She aims to hold hope when people feel stuck and to help them find small, practical steps forward.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single technique. She commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside dialectical skills and trauma-focused methods. EMDR and mindfulness may also be part of the work where helpful.
Lisa has previously worked in NHS services across different settings, supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. That background informs her practical stance and problem-solving focus in sessions. She also has experience using approaches tailored for addictive behaviours.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be supported. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, panic and mood difficulties and involves exercises you can practise between sessions.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can help people struggling with impulsive habits or difficult mood swings.
EMDR is a trauma-focused technique that works with distressing memories and the way they affect current feelings. For some people it reduces the hold of painful memories and associated reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different methods as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work or family commitments, allow for quieter check-ins without travel, or support use of practical homework between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and skill-building to remote sessions, and the focus remains on what helps you manage panic, anxiety and related difficulties.
