Lisa Whittaker

Level 3 IFS Therapist, BACP Integrative Counsellor trained in the use of the arts, Certified non-dual Effortless Mindfulness Facilitator (trained with Loch Kelly). I am late diagnosed ADHD and am delighted to offer neurodivergent affirming therapy. I know personally how painful it can be when parts of us don’t accept our neurological challenges and either dismiss them, harshly criticise us in an attempt to eradicate them or need to grieve over how complicated life has been.  I find IFS (Internal Family Systems) so helpful for increasing self-acceptance in our systems and for working with our harsh inner-critics to find another way. When we can find this increased ease and acceptance internally our struggles significantly reduce and we can celebrate our uniqueness. Loch Kelly’s Effortless Mindfulness and Effortless Focus glimpses can also help with maintaining focus so we can try these in therapy too if this a challenge for you and you’re interested. I offer online or in-person sessions in London SE23. We can also incorporate the arts into our work if this appeals to you. Feel free to contact me if you would like a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
