Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurts affect current thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers ways to understand triggers and develop coping strategies for symptoms related to abuse, dissociation or overwhelming memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and what feels manageable. This shared decision-making helps shape the focus of sessions and any practical steps between appointments.
Online therapy lets people choose how they meet - video calls for a more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, or live chat and text messaging for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and help keep the process flexible and accessible for different needs.
