Lisa Cotter

I currently have online sessions available (Zoom) and face-to-face sessions at The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms in Chiswick and The White Hart Clinic in Barnes. Please contact me for more details at: hello@lisacottertherapy.com or on the number above.

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist and counsellor offering a compassionate, relaxed and confidential space to explore current and past issues which may be impacting your life. I additionally hold a PhD in Psychology and have spent many years working across the NHS and private mental health services, as well as charitable organisations, bereavement services and the education sector. I have experience working in women’s health, post-natal support, youth and adolescent development, cancer support, bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders.

I recognise that looking for a therapist can feel like an overwhelming process and that each person will be looking for different things from therapy. Maybe you have a specific issue you would like to address, or maybe you just need space to talk freely in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. As an integrative therapist I have been trained in a range of therapeutic approaches which means we can tailor our sessions to suit your needs and explore ways of moving forwards together, at a pace you feel comfortable with.

My practice is primarily informed by psychodynamic and humanistic approaches which means we might choose to look at issues presenting for you in the here-and-now, and also things you may have experienced in the past. Central to my practice is belief that the therapeutic relationship – our relationship – is integral in supporting an effective and positive experience of therapy. Clients have shared that they experience me as warm, open and personable; I seek to build a strong, trusting relationship where you can feel seen and heard, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you may be facing. I aim to work collaboratively and be mindful of our unique differences as human beings – how one person’s lived experience might differ from the next – and the importance of remaining attuned to your personal circumstances and needs.

I offer brief counselling for shorter periods where you can gain practical skills and knowledge for particular issues, or longer-term psychotherapy to explore your experiences in more depth. I work with adults aged 16 years and over.

If you are interested in working with me, the first step is to send me an email, a text, or give me a call. We will then arrange a free, confidential 20-minute phone call, or a brief email exchange if this feels more comfortable for you, so we can briefly discuss what brings you to therapy and any questions you may have. If this feels like a good fit and you are happy to proceed, we will agree on a time for an initial session.

During the initial session you will get a sense of how we may work together. I will invite you to tell me about yourself and we can discuss your hopes and goals for therapy in more detail. We can then decide whether to go ahead with further sessions. All sessions are 50 minutes duration and I typically work with clients on a weekly basis at a regular scheduled time. There is no obligation to book in for further sessions if this does not feel right for you.

I currently have online sessions available (Zoom) and face-to-face sessions at various locations in SW London. Please contact me for more details at: hello@lisacottertherapy.com or on the number above.
