About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and eating or sleeping problems. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, anger and coping after life changes, and has an interest in life purpose questions.
She draws on a mix of practical approaches in sessions, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. In practice this means sessions often include talking about specific patterns, trying new ways of responding, and practising skills between meetings. She may use focused work on traumatic memories where that is helpful.
Lisa’s clinical background includes years working within NHS services in a range of teams. That experience informs how she plans sessions and offers structured options for people with addiction-related concerns and mood difficulties. She combines problem-solving and skills work with attention to past events that continue to affect daily life.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship ending or health shift tend to look for her support. She aims to move at a client’s pace and to work alongside them on manageable steps. Her practice includes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, control and shame.

How clinical approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of responding. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, problems with sleep and many life-change difficulties. DBT emphasises practical skills for managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance and improving relationships. It is often used when emotion regulation and impulsive behaviours are a concern. EMDR works with distressing memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral attention, and it is used when traumatic events continue to affect day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, past experience and preferences and then suggests which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made, so the plan can change with the client’s needs.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins by phone if needed, and not having to travel for an evening session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as skills coaching, structured CBT exercises and trauma-focused interventions to remote settings when appropriate.
