Lisa Grupman

At this time I have availability  on a Wednesday morning from 10 am  until 1pm  and any time  on a Thursday from 9am - 5pm . I do have some evenings free but will have to arrange a day and time when making an appointment.

I offer a warm, confidential and non judgemental space where you can feel heard and truly understood. 

A space where you can explore and navigate life's challenges, loss or changes such as bereavement, relationship problems  stress with work and health issues.

When feeling overwhelmed regardless of the issue my aim is to give you  a safe space to explore these feelings.

I work with the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change when given the right conditions.

My aim is to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, build self confidence and trust yourself again. 

I began my therapist journey after I had my child who had been born very premature. While in the hospital for many months I felt let down by the professional support on offer and realised that it helped me to support other mothers going through the same traumatic experience.

I was living in London at the the time I had lost my father the year before and was also having relationship problems. Once my daughter was able to return home I felt that I was at  the crossroads of my life .After my experience in the hospital  I decided that I wanted to become a counsellor and my journey began at  Birkbeck  University I started to understand my own insecurities more and how the people around from an early age had made me feel insecure and insignificant and how this had impacted on the  choices I had made through my life.

Using the theory I have learnt from Phylodynamic and Person centred schools of thought plus having therapy myself I feel that I was able to take charge of my life make the changes that were needed and breath again...

I want to support my clients to feel the same. To take control of their lives and to become confident to make the choices that will make them happier and more fulfilled moving forward.

I am a qualified Person Centred Counsellor. I also have qualifications in Psychodynamic and CBT counselling. I am able to tailor therapy around my clients needs.

I work within a counselling practice two days a week and I am now able to offer my services from home to private clients.

I am experienced with working with adults and young people.  

I can also work over Teams if that is more convenient for you.

I am also happy to come to your home or meet outside. 

The first session will usually last around 30 minutes. It is informal  and free of charge. It will give us the opportunity to get to know each other and for you to decide if you are comfortable working with me
