Counsellor in Peterborough
Online or Outdoor (Walk and Talk) Counselling
Hello, I'm Lisa and I offer counselling sessions online and outdoors (walk and talk or eco-counselling) in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. I am a qualified counsellor and I specialise in helping individuals through the challenges of midlife.
I am a late diagnosed neurodivergent and after my own diagnosis I realised that there is a need for support with processing life through a neurodivergent lens. Managing life with a neurodivergent brain in a world designed for neurotypical brains is hard. I help people to navigate and process all of this.
I am a person-centred counsellor which means that I work in a non-directive way with whatever you choose to bring to the session. I provide a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, find your own solutions and increase your self-awareness.
What is Midlife Burnout?
Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. Feeling drained, fed up, unmotivated and negative - exactly the things online counselling can help with!

Have you discovered you’re autistic or ADHD later in life?
This is becoming increasingly common, not because more people are neurodivergent, as the media would have you believe, but because there is much more awareness and information about different brain types.

There are huge mental health benefits of being outside in nature, so why not try having your counselling session outside in a green space?
Our first session will be by video call where we will begin to get to know each other and explore what you would like to get out of counselling, and agree together how your sessions will work. And then from session two we meet outside!
Frequently Asked Questions
Counselling is a safe, non-judgemental space where you are free to talk about whatever you wish. As your counsellor, I will help you to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours, to recognise any patterns, where they come from and how you would like them to change. You know yourself best so I won't give you advice or tell you what to do, but I will help you to increase your self-awareness and to come up with your own strategies and solutions. I will help you to navigate difficult emotions, life events, relationships and situations. For us to work effectively together, our relationship is very important and you should feel safe enough to talk about anything. If you would like to find out more, please email hello@lhcounselling.net, or use the contact form and we can arrange a free 30 minute introductory telephone call.
A 50 minute counselling session is £60
This is the same whether you have face to face, online or walk and talk counselling.
(For walk and talk counselling there may also be a parking fee for you to pay, depending on location)
Please send a brief email to hello@lhcounselling.net or use the contact form on this website. We will arrange a mutually convenient time for a free 15 minute introductory telephone call, and then if you would like to go ahead we can arrange your first session from there.
It's an opportunity to start to get to know each other, so I will ask you a few questions about you and what you would like to achieve from counselling. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about me and how I work so that you can decide whether I am the right fit for you. I will answer anything you need to know to do with the practicalities of counselling, such as when, where, how often, cost and cancellations, as well as things like confidentiality and privacy, as it's important to know all of this before you start. I will explain what happens in the first session, and if you are happy to go ahead we can book you in and I will send you a short form to complete.
It is important to choose a counsellor who you feel comfortable with and if, after your introductory telephone call, you decide that you would like us to work together, we will arrange your first session. In the first session we will agree on the details of how we will work together. Sessions will be 50 minutes long and will be the same day and time each week. The number of sessions you need will be entirely up to you, there is no limit or set amount. When you decide it is time to end we can have a final session to review your progress and make a plan together to help you to maintain the progress that you have made.
Sometimes life gets in the way, I understand that! So if you need to cancel your session please do so with as much notice as possible. You can do this by sending an email to hello@lhcounselling.net. I can't guarantee that I will be able to rearrange your appointment to another day or time that week so we will usually continue your sessions at the usual time the following week. Unfortunately if you cancel within 24 hours of your appointment there may be a charge.
Sessions can be paid for by bank transfer. Unfortunately, if payment is not received before the start of your session it may not go ahead, so please let me know if you are having any difficulties.
