Lisa's Story
Specialist Female Counsellor
Supporting Women in Life, Love and Loss
Counselling has been my lifelong passion. I was first drawn to the power of being there for somebody when I began my professional life working for young people at a youth homeless charity in London.
I learnt early on that to be heard, seen and fully understood is vital and a supportive relationship can be life changing.
There is a magical moment when a counsellor insightfully says something and you feel completely understood. It is as if they have shone a torch into a darkened room. Your world is suddenly illuminated, and then they pass you the torch, and you are empowered to understand yourself and your life in a new way. It can be life-changing.
I’ve experienced this as a client and as a counsellor during nearly a decade of work, study and training. It is my privilege and honour to sit with my clients.
I appreciate the courage it takes to come to counselling and begin to speak honestly and openly, It's incredibly brave.
I am passionate about supporting women and ultimately their families and partners. Individual work always impacts the family systems around them. At times this can be challenging as change takes place but I believe that it always goes in the direction of truth and growth and our inner wisdom will guide us to where we need to heal

Specialist Female Counsellor
Supporting Women in Life, Love and Loss
I am a Person-centred counsellor working from my shepherd’s hut in the Norfolk Broads and online.
My clinic is for women 15+ in all stages of life.
I am a mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend. I have experienced many of life’s challenges – from my struggles as a young woman, to caring for a chronically-ill daughter, to the challenges every working mother recognises of juggling careers alongside many caring responsibilities. I have family experience of anxiety, Lymes Disease, dementia, depression and bereavement.
I am passionate about creating a safe space for you, empowering you to reclaim your life and thrive.

Location
Papilio Counselling is named after the swallowtail butterfly who find their home exclusively in the Norfolk Broads in the UK.
This is the location of my clinic, set in our shepherd’s hut in a quiet and discreet part of our garden, a home that I share with my husband our three children and beloved Dachshund. Our family has a close relationship to butterflies which are celebrated for both their beauty and transformational capabilities.
