Lisa Duncan

I offer a warm, compassionate, safe and non-judgemental space where young people and adults can explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences at their own pace, feeling heard, valued and understood.

As an integrative person-centred counsellor, I believe that every individual is the expert in their own life. I place your unique experiences, needs and personal goals at the heart of our work together, recognising that everyone’s journey is different. My approach is collaborative and flexible, integrating appropriate therapeutic techniques to support you as an individual, rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

I have experience working with young people and adults experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression and the challenges that life can bring. I also support individuals who wish to better understand and manage their emotions, navigate difficult life events, develop greater self-awareness and work towards personal growth.

My developing interests include trauma-informed practice, inner child work and schema therapy. I am interested in how our early experiences and relationships can shape our beliefs, emotional responses and patterns of relating to ourselves and others. I value the importance of approaching this work with sensitivity, compassion and an awareness of each person’s individual experiences, helping to create space for greater understanding, self-acceptance and change.

Alongside my counselling practice, I have a keen interest in holistic therapies and the connection between mind, body and emotional wellbeing. I am currently a Level 2 Reiki practitioner and am interested in continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in this area. In October 2026, I am due to commence further training in solution-focused hypnotherapy, supporting my ongoing professional development and broadening my understanding of approaches that may benefit the people I work with.

My aim is to provide a therapeutic relationship built on empathy, trust, respect and collaboration, where you feel able to explore what matters to you without fear of judgement. Together, we can work towards greater clarity, emotional resilience and a deeper understanding of yourself, helping you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Counselling is available face-to-face, online via video, and by telephone.
