Lisa Seckington

I currently have availability in my practice.  I can offer sessions on Thursdays and Fridays between 9.30am - 5pm and Saturdays between 9.30am - 1pm.

Welcome, my name is Lisa, and I am a qualified counsellor working within an integrative person-centred approach. This therapeutic approach puts the client at the heart of the sessions and by working together, can enable you to find solutions to move forward.

Counselling can be an emotional and difficult process which should not be undertaken lightly however, you can be assured of my complete commitment. I will listen to you in a safe and confidential setting, offering my full support, empathy and freedom from judgement.

I deliver an ethical therapeutic practice offering a level of maturity from years of life experience. I am a kind and caring person with good listening skills and a calm persona.

I have supported adults who have experienced bereavement and loss, who have appreciated having someone to talk to who was not closely involved, such as their nearest and dearest, offering them space and freedom to discuss whatever was necessary.

I have supported adults with depression, anxiety and others who have experienced trauma through sexual violence and/or rape at some stage in their lives including secondary survivors, those who have lived with other’s trauma.

I can offer sessions face-to-face in either Long Eaton or Burton on Trent or remotely, online or by phone.

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, full insurance and am registered with the ICO.

By working together on a regular basis we can establish a therapeutic relationship which should enable you to find your own solutions and consider ways of moving forward.  As your counsellor I will offer my support, without telling you what to do, giving you the opportunity to explore and gain clarity.  By supporting you to increase your self-awareness, this will put you in a stronger position to consider your options towards positive change.

Counselling requires work and commitment and at times can be an emotional and difficult process therefore should not be undertaken lightly.  Your role is to be as open as possible and to take responsibility for the changes that you want to make, recognising that you are the expert in your own life and only you can determine what your next steps are.

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to make that initial connection just to see whether what I can offer and my personality feels like a good fit for you.

If you choose to go ahead our first session will consist of an initial assessment giving you the opportunity to briefly explain your reasons for seeking therapy, anything you are currently struggling with, anything from your past which you feel is relevant and what your goals are for therapy.  This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about therapy.
