About Lisa

Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has nine years of experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and other common difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

She helps people talk through relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, and major life changes. Her additional focus includes adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment, body image, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic exercise. She also supports people dealing with OCD, panic attacks, mood and personality difficulties.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness approaches and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she works collaboratively, introducing structured techniques to address thoughts, behaviours and distress. She may use trauma-focused methods where past events are a central concern.

Clients can expect practical strategies for managing symptoms alongside space to talk through painful experiences. The emphasis is on clear techniques that can be practised between sessions, and on building skills for emotion regulation and relapse prevention when addictions are involved.

Costs vary with location and therapy is delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In practice this means setting clear goals, trying out behavioural experiments, and learning tools to reduce anxiety, low mood or compulsive behaviours.

DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions often include learning grounding, distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques that can be practised between appointments.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with how distressing memories are processed. When relevant, it is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the symptoms that follow them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss priorities, goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing sessions at different times of day, or making shorter check-ins possible. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to help people continue work between sessions and to practise new skills in everyday settings.
