Lise Baker

I am an experienced, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist practising in Guildford, Haslemere, Putney and West London, face to face and on-line. I have many years of training and experience and I am a Registered Member of the BACP,  a professional body with a strict code of ethics for professional practice, which I abide by.  I hold a valid, enhanced DBS Certificate for work with the very vulnerable. In addition to my degrees and diploma qualifications I am completing a further MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health. 

I offer short term or open-ended long term counselling and psychotherapy. Working together we can explore aspects of your life you feel you are struggling with and the underlying causes. As a qualified Integrative therapist, I am able to draw on skills from a variety of therapeutic models, so I can tailor my approach to your specific needs. Using Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, CBT, and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, a time limited version of psychodynamic therapy, I take the view that patterns of experiences, often formed early in life, and childhood, are dynamically and unconsciously repeated in adult life. I provide a safe space just for you to talk about difficult feelings and experiences.

The first session is treated as an assessment and an opportunity to meet and feel comfortable with each other.
