Lisa Dobinson

Lisa Dobinson is a UK-licensed therapist with 7 years of professional experience who works from an integrative humanistic framework. She draws on a range of theories, including Gestalt and person-centred approaches, to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

Originally trained in Ireland, Lisa’s training included substantial group work, which helped her develop sensitivity to body language and non-verbal cues. She brings a strong somatic awareness to her practice and uses attention to the bodily experience to highlight both spoken and unspoken material in the therapy room.

Lisa also trained with Relate and holds a relational qualification that supports her work with relationship concerns. She uses systemic ideas to help clients recognise transgenerational patterns and identify the ways those patterns influence current life and relationships.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, and career-related challenges. She has worked with individuals, couples, and dyadic parent-child pairs.

Committed to ongoing learning, Lisa regularly undertakes continuing professional development and also seeks counselling herself to remain as present and effective for clients as possible. She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and considers it a privilege to support people as they make courageous steps toward change.
