About Lisa
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. Lisa works with practical problems such as sleeping and eating issues, anger, obsessive thoughts, panic and coping with life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. Sessions usually focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses and building day-to-day skills.
Her background includes clinical posts across a range of NHS services. That experience informs work with mood disorders, addictions, attachment concerns and personality-related difficulties. She also supports people coping with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, body image and guilt.
In sessions she aims to move from describing problems to trying concrete changes. That can include short experiments between meetings, targeted skills work and structured reflection on what helps. The practical emphasis is on strategies people can use in everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be supported. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, readers are asked to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
CBT, trauma work and DBT skills for online sessions
Dr Lisa Tomlinson uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT work often focuses on structured tasks, short experiments between sessions and clear goal setting to reduce anxiety, low mood and problematic habits.She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and trauma-focused approaches. DBT-informed work teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies. Trauma-focused techniques and EMDR-informed steps target distress tied to traumatic memories and help reduce repeated intrusive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree collaboratively which methods to try. That shared decision helps identify whether CBT, DBT skills or trauma-focused methods suit a person best.
