Welcome to Talk Dynamic
ABOUT ME
I'm Lisa Hitchen, an experienced and professional therapist working with adults, couples, young people and children.
Every person is an individual and I will work with you in a way and at a pace that feels right for you.
How I came to this
My interest in the science of the human mind and human behaviour led me to chose psychology as one half of my undergraduate training. Several years later, my own personal experience of psychotherapy took me into training so that I could help others.
My approach and experience
I am an integrative therapist which means I have trained in different approaches and will use these to work with you according to your needs. These approaches include person centred, psychodynamic, EMDR, cognitive behavioural therapy, creative techniques and solution focused work. I have worked in schools, charities and in private practice supporting people of all ages.
Become your own therapist
I work with clients to develop their autonomy and independence. You are the expert in your life and together we will explore what it means to be you. It is a joy and an honour to help people to step off from therapy to continue with their lives, feeling healthier and happier and having a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships.
Always learning
I try to stay up to date with current thinking, ideas and research in the profession as well as undertaking regular training and new qualifications so I can help clients in the best way I can.


The therapy space
I offer therapy at my practice in South East London. In our first session, we can explore how you want to work and what might help you to feel better. There are many issues or challenges that therapy can help you or your loved ones with so please contact me for an initial phone consultation so we can see how I could support you.
Please note online and telephone counselling is an alternative option to in person work. I offer all and can switch between mediums depending upon your requirements at the time.
