Untangling Life’s Challenges

Focused therapy for real-life challenges
Just like interconnected gears, our thoughts, feelings and experiences shape who we are. When life feels overwhelming or stuck, counselling can help set things back in motion. I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore what's beneath the surface and gently find a way forward.

About Me

I'm Lisa Showman, an integrative therapist. I blend person-centred counselling, psychodynamic therapy, and CBT to tailor therapy to your individual needs. I support people facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, and transitions in life.

With experience in NHS and private practice, and as a BACP-registered therapist, I bring professional expertise alongside a personal, compassionate approach.

I offer flexible face-to-face and online sessions, plus a free 15-minute chat to see if we're a good fit.

Flexible locations
I have availability in various locations across Central & SE London to suit you. Sessions can be arranged at a convenient location, or online via secure video call.

Helping You Find Balance

Therapy is a space to understand yourself, break unhelpful patterns, and build lasting confidence. It supports self-esteem, personal growth, and self-actualisation, helping you move forward with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of who you are.

Sessions last around fifty minutes and are scheduled flexibly to fit your life. There's no pressure to commit straight away—the free fifteen-minute introductory call is simply a chance to see if we're a good match.

I'm here to support you in finding balance, untangling life's complexities, and growing at a pace that feels right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can benefit from counselling?

Anyone facing challenges in their life can benefit from counselling. This includes people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, or neurodiverse experiences such as ADHD. Counselling provides a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, helping you grow, build confidence, and move forward.

 

What happens in a counselling session?

 Sessions are tailored to you and your needs. You'll have space to talk openly, reflect, and explore patterns or challenges in your life. Together, we'll work on ways to build confidence, self-esteem, and personal growth, helping you make meaningful progress at your own pace.

How long are sessions and how often should I attend?

 Sessions usually last around fifty minutes. Frequency depends on your goals and circumstances, and we can discuss a plan that works best for you. Flexible scheduling is available to fit your life and priorities.

Can I book a free introductory call?

Yes. The free 15-minute introductory call is an opportunity to meet, ask questions, and see if we're a good fit. There's no pressure — it's simply a chance to explore whether counselling with me feels right for you.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions are offered both face-to-face and online, giving you flexibility to choose the format that works best for you.

How do I book or cancel appointments?

You can book directly via the website or contact me by email. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know in advance so we can find a suitable alternative.

Is my information confidential?

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of counselling. What we discuss in sessions stays private, within the limits of professional and legal guidelines.

What if I feel therapy isn't right for me?


It's normal to feel unsure at first. Counselling is most effective when you feel comfortable and supported. If it doesn't feel like the right fit, we can discuss other options or I can help you find a therapist who meets your needs.
