Lisa Bond - Counselling/ Coaching and Mentoring

About

My work as a counsellor:

I am a qualified counsellor with over 25 years experience.

I use an holistic approach of:

Person centred, CBT and Psychodynamic therapy.

I have a deep understanding of working with Neurodivergence, anxiety, depression and intergenerational trauma.

During my career as a teacher, counsellor, coach and mentor, I have worked with a diverse group of clients, helping them navigate relationships and work towards self actualisation.

Supporting individuals, couples and families to improve relationships, with tools for better communication, conflict resolution and an improved self awareness is key to much of my work.
My youngest client was 9 - struggling with anxiety, my eldest client was 83 - struggling with depression.

I can support individuals dealing with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, confidence and a sense of feeling loss of hope. Experience of supporting people with racing thoughts, fear and general overwhelm.
I am keen to support people by not only listening, but sharing tools, techniques and resources to improve their overall quality of life.

I started my counselling career as a volunteer for Victim support - (1994)during this time I was studying and raising a family. My second voluntary post was for Barnardo's as a support to parents and children with emotional, intellectual, and behavioural differences.

I went on to become a qualified teacher for people with different neurodivergent differences ( dyslexia, adhd, autism, mental health conditions)

Over the years I have studied and worked to support:

Women who have been victims of DA
Men with mental health difficulties
Children with ND resulting in anxiety, school avoidance, self harm
Individuals with addictions
Individuals who have experienced trauma
Older people who have lost hope
And a whole host of difficulties that have brought people to me who are struggling with their mental health.
