Lisa McKendrick

Forensic Psychologist and EMDR Therapist

Struggling with anxiety, trauma or experiences that continue to affect you today?

Sometimes difficult experiences from the past can continue to influence how we feel, think and respond in the present. You may feel anxious, stuck in repeating patterns, or carrying the impact of events that have never felt fully resolved.

Lisa commonly supports:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and panic
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Recovery following significant or distressing life events
• Emotional stress and overwhelm
• Life transitions and adjustment difficulties

How Lisa works

Lisa is a Forensic Psychologist who combines warmth, compassion and clinical expertise. She helps clients understand how past experiences may be influencing current challenges, supporting them to make sense of patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

Alongside psychological therapy, Lisa offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that can help people process traumatic experiences, reduce emotional distress and build resilience. While EMDR is well known for treating trauma, Lisa has also found it can be effective for difficulties such as anxiety and low self-esteem.

She particularly values how EMDR can help clients make meaningful connections between past experiences and present-day challenges, often leading to greater understanding, self-compassion and lasting change. Therapy is tailored to the individual and progresses at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Professional background

Lisa has extensive experience working within forensic and mental health settings, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice while remaining collaborative, compassionate and focused on helping clients move forward.

Works with: Adults 16+

Sessions: Online and In Person

A personal note from Lisa

Like many people, I find that wellbeing is an ongoing practice rather than a destination, and I try to bring that understanding into both my personal and professional life.
