About Lisa
Lisa Badman-Dunphy is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of counselling experience. She describes herself as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, parenting, grief, trauma and ADHD.
Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent over 20 years working in health and care services. That work included roles in health visiting, sexual health, older persons mental health and special educational needs and disabilities. Those roles inform her understanding of family of origin, ageing and caregiver stresses.
Her stated approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past experience shapes current feelings and behaviour. In practice this means talking about patterns, early relationships and repeated ways of coping. She uses that exploration to help people understand where strong feelings such as shame or guilt may come from.
Sessions are offered one-to-one, online and by phone, and are usually weekly. She says work can be short term or open-ended depending on the person's needs. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
She lists several focus areas including intimacy, attachment, body image, eating issues, chronic illness and kink and alternative sex culture. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Psychodynamic approaches and how online sessions work
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the influence of past experiences and early relationships on current feelings and behaviour. It involves talking about recurring patterns, unconscious motives and how old experiences can shape responses to stress, guilt or shame. This approach is often used for issues such as long-standing relationship patterns, attachment difficulties and unresolved grief.In practice she aims to work collaboratively to find the best way forward. She will discuss what matters to the person, what they hope to change and together decide whether psychodynamic work or another direction is the best fit. That process can include short-term focuses or open-ended work depending on the person's goals.
Her profile notes that she offers one-to-one therapy online and by phone, and that sessions are usually weekly. If you want to book, confirm the current session options before scheduling so you know which formats are offered. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing a quieter break in a busy day or choosing a shorter check-in when needed.
