Lisa Benge
EMDR & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (Individuals & Couples)Hello, I’m Lisa. I’m an experienced psychological therapist with over 20 years working in NHS mental health services, as well as 13 years in private practice. I’m accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and a member of EMDR Europe, specialising in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR.
I hold an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and am trained in EMDR. I also draw on evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy, which means I can adapt our work together to suit your needs, preferences, and goals.
I believe that every person is unique. My versatile skill set allows me to work with you in a thoughtful, bespoke and evidence based way, taking the time to really understand your experiences and tailoring the support I offer so it feels right for you.
Over the years, I’ve supported both individuals and couples with a wide range of difficulties, including Depression, anxiety (such as panic, phobias and OCD), trauma and PTSD, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), low self-esteem, sleep problems, and the impact of stress and burnout. I also offer couples therapy, providing a space to work through relationship challenges and rebuild connection with each other.
I’m particularly passionate about helping people who feel stuck or struggle with low self-esteem. My aim is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood, and where we can work together to help you regain confidence, reconnect with yourself, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
