About Lisa
Lisa Badman-Dunphy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She previously worked for over 20 years in the NHS and other care settings, including health visiting, sexual health, older persons mental health and special educational needs and disabilities.
She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. She also offers support with relationship concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and parenting. Blended family issues are listed among her areas of focus and she can talk through related challenges and dynamics.
Lisa uses Psychodynamic Therapy to explore the roots of feelings and behaviour. In sessions she will look at how past experiences shape present responses. That can help spot repetitive patterns that keep people stuck.
She offers one-to-one work online and by phone, with sessions usually once a week. Work can be short term or open-ended, depending on what each person needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Her background in health services informs a practical approach to problems such as grief, trauma and long-term health issues. People who want to understand why they react in certain ways may find this style useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. Lisa lists communities she works with, including BIPOC, body positivity, open-relationships and LGBTQIA+.
Psychodynamic approaches and online counselling
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships and past events influence current feelings and actions. It often involves reflecting on repeated patterns, unconscious drives and emotional responses to improve self-understanding and reduce distress. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and questions about identity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the focus as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process where goals, pace and methods are agreed together so the work fits the individuallient's needs.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Phone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed or when being on camera is not preferable. The biography does not list every session format, so confirm available options before booking to ensure they match your routine and preferences.
