Lisa Duffy

I offer both face-to-face and online sessions on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. 

I am available to take on new clients, and my sessions are open-ended and flexible. 

Commitment and consistency are key to healthy therapeutic growth.

I am a qualified and experienced Person-Centred Experiential Therapist, dedicated to providing a safe space for you to share your experiences. My goal is to help you gain clarity on your life choices while enhancing your self-esteem and self-reliance as you pursue the changes you desire.

As a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to its Ethical Framework and best-practice guidelines. I am also fully insured.

I have a strong professional background working in prisons with male inmates facing issues related to addiction and trauma. In this role, I provided both individual sessions and therapeutic group work, utilising humanistic and solution-focused approaches. This experience has given me valuable insights into the mental health challenges associated with addiction, confinement, and trauma.

My motivation to become a counsellor grew while I worked in prisons, where I witnessed first-hand the transformative power of therapy. During one-on-one sessions and group therapy, I observed individuals rebuilding trust in themselves and others, gaining clarity, and developing a stronger sense of self-esteem. These experiences resonated deeply with me and ignited my passion for helping individuals navigate through challenges such as addiction, trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, and depression.

I have enhanced my counselling skills in challenging environments, learning to create safe spaces for clients during both individual and group sessions. This experience has highlighted the importance of resilience and empathy in providing practical support to those in need. I continue to develop these skills in my private practice, Serenity Lane Therapies, and offer clients a confidential therapeutic space where they can feel heard and understood.

In addition to talk therapy, I incorporate creative elements to help clients process their emotions, reduce stress, improve communication, enhance self-esteem, and gain deeper insights. By combining creativity with talk therapy, you can engage your subconscious, foster personal growth, and build effective coping strategies.

To book an initial consultation with me, please email me directly at lisa.serenitylanetherapies@gmail.com to arrange a suitable time.

Online initial consultations are free, and in-person consultations cost £25.00; both last for 40 minutes. This is a great opportunity for you to see if my approach and personality suit your therapeutic needs.

Before our initial consultation, I will send you a client questionnaire to complete and return. This valuable information will help me better understand your needs and how I can best support you.

During our consultation, I will connect with you and assess how I can assist you. You are welcome to share as much as you feel comfortable about your reasons for seeking therapy. We will also review the client questionnaire and discuss the therapy agreement.

After this, you will have the chance to reflect on and process the consultation before deciding if my approach aligns with what you’re seeking. Alternatively, if you prefer to proceed immediately, we can arrange a 50-minute online therapy session for £49.00 or an in-person session for £55.00.

It is quite likely you will meet my beautiful dog Didi, who is normally snoozing in the background. She has a wonderful calming effect and a loving nature, which is always a bonus in a therapy space, wouldn't you agree?
