Dr LISA GAIOTTO

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years’ experience working in the NHS, private and third sector.
I have been providing therapy to adults and couples experiencing a range of difficulties or wishing to self-develop. At Causeway Therapy, I offer treatments for adults (over the age of 18 years) who experience difficulties such as:

• Anxiety, including: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalised Anxiety Disorder (excessive worries), Panic, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Social Anxiety and Heath Anxiety;

• Depression and Low Mood;

• Self-esteem and confidence;

• Childhood and Adulthood traumatic events

• Birth Trauma;

• Bereavement and Loss;

• Body dysmorphia;

• Post Natal Depression and Anxiety

• Relationship problems

• Sleep difficulties

• Adjusting to Parenthood

• Disordered Eating

​

I have extensive experience of working with individuals who experience personal and professional stress including burnout, feel loss or stuck in these areas, and wish to re-balance these dimensions. I also have an interest in helping people who suffer from Generalised Anxiety, which can present as continuous, uncontrollable and excessive worries.

THERAPY

WHY THERAPY?

Therapy is about developing an insight about yourself and your difficulties, process them and move towards achieving your personal aims.

​

Some goals for therapy might be to manage anxiety, to socialise more, to become more active and motivated, to accept what you cannot change and commit to follow your values, to re-define relationships and feel more connected, to assess and follow your personal or professional values, to adjust to loss or change, to process difficult memories and events so that they are not so dominant in your life, to come to terms with chronic pain and illness, to improve your sleep, to learn to  relax and “let go”, to improve your concentration, and more.

​

Therapy can be a powerful tool which can be applied to work situations, for example to manage a challenging employee or difficult changes in your organisation, to manage boundaries between employers and employees.

I can help you developing stress management strategies, and improve your work-life balance.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The first session will be an initial consultation. It focuses on exploring your difficulties, what led you to search for therapy, and how it can help.

It also allows us to determine if there is a positive connection, what model of therapy suits you and how long therapy might be.

​

The length of therapy varies generally from 8 to 16 sessions. This will be defined by combining personal preference, goals, difficulties, commitment and engagement with evidence based treatments defined by NICE guidelines. Sometimes more complex difficulties require longer term therapy. I will discussed this with you, so that we can work collaboratively towards the best options. 

Individual and couple sessions last 50 minute. I offer face to face therapy and online sessions via Zoom or VSee.
