Mental Health support

Mental health affects more than our thoughts and emotions. It can influence the nervous system, physical wellbeing, relationships and our ability to engage fully in life. Experiences such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and prolonged stress can be carried within both the mind and body.

At Frequency Healing, counselling is personalised to support the whole person. Sessions provide a safe and compassionate space to explore what you are experiencing, understand the patterns influencing your wellbeing and develop practical ways to create meaningful and lasting change.

Every person’s needs are different. You may prefer traditional counselling using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, or you may choose to incorporate complementary therapies such as Acutonics® Integrative Sound Medicine, homeopathy or flower essences. These options can be discussed and included only when appropriate and requested by you.

As a Registered Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Credentialed Mental Health Nurse, Lisa provides compassionate, evidence-informed counselling tailored to each person’s circumstances, needs and goals.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, Lisa draws from a range of therapeutic frameworks and techniques, including:

• Trauma-informed therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts-based approaches
• Compassion-focused therapy
• Attachment-based therapy
• Psychodynamic therapy
• Somatic and nervous-system regulation strategies
• Mindfulness and grounding techniques
• Practical emotional regulation and coping skills

These approaches can help you understand how past experiences, relationships, emotions and protective patterns may be affecting your present life. Therapy is collaborative and paced carefully, particularly when working with trauma or emotionally overwhelming experiences.

Counselling may support people experiencing:

• Anxiety and excessive worry
• Depression and low mood
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress
• Childhood and developmental trauma
• Birth trauma
• Grief and loss
• Stress and burnout
• Life transitions and relationship difficulties
• Emotional overwhelm
• Difficulties with self-worth or emotional regulation
• Perinatal and women’s mental health concerns

Some people benefit from counselling alone, while others appreciate having additional ways to support their emotional and physical wellbeing.

When requested, complementary therapies may be incorporated alongside counselling to create a more integrative session. These may include:

Acutonics® uses calibrated tuning forks applied to selected points on the body and within the surrounding energy field. It may be incorporated to encourage relaxation, body awareness and nervous-system regulation, particularly when it is difficult to process an experience through words alone.

Lisa offers both individualised classical homeopathy and Narayani combination remedies. Homeopathy may be selected as a complementary option to support your overall wellbeing and does not replace appropriate medical or psychological treatment.

Bach Flower Essences may be used to provide gentle emotional support during periods of stress, change or emotional difficulty. They can be selected as an individual therapy or incorporated alongside counselling and homeopathy.

The inclusion of complementary therapies is always optional. Together, we can develop an individualised approach that respects your preferences, comfort and therapeutic goals.

Lisa has a particular interest in:

• Perinatal mental health
• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma and PTSD
• Childhood and developmental trauma
• Birth trauma
• Grief and loss
• Women’s mental health
• Stress, burnout and nervous-system regulation
• Adjustment to parenthood and major life transitions

Whether you are recovering from trauma, navigating anxiety, adjusting to change or seeking greater balance in your life, you will be supported with compassion, respect and individualised care.
