About Dr. Lisa Tomlinson
Dr Lisa Tomlinson is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and brings nine years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work. She creates a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can explore difficult feelings at a pace that feels right for them. Her manner combines compassion with practical support, and she aims to hold hope for clients when they are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Dr Tomlinson adopts an integrated approach, drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused work. That flexibility allows her to tailor sessions to the unique needs of each person, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, addiction-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, grief, and low self-esteem.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means working together to notice patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and introducing practical strategies to change them, which can be used for issues like depression, panic, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of impulsive or self-sabotaging behavior.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related difficulties and can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr Lisa Tomlinson works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and to tailor interventions so they fit the client’s life and pace.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from specialist services. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different formats, and integrate therapy into everyday routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt evidence-based methods to the online setting.
