Counsellor Lisa Massey

Everyone deserves to have a safe space where they can go to feel seen, validated and heard. Here at Anchor of Hope we provide that confidential space where you can take the time to focus on yourself. 

How I work as a therapist is from a Person Centred approach, placing you the client in full control of your therapy. I will work alongside you as you take your steps into exploring what has brought you to counselling. Within my professional practise I work alongside clients who are navigating life whilst dealing with issues such as: narcissistic abuse, trauma, anxiety & sexual violence.   

My honest and compassionate nature all blend into my ability to empathically connect with others this coupled with my high functioning level of emotional intelligence and ability to communicate effectively helps me to create trusting therapeutic relationships with my clients.   

My professional practise is guided by the ethical standards set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
