Person-centred counselling for young people, adults and parents in Leeds and online
Life can feel heavy, confusing or too much. Whether you're looking for counselling for yourself, your teenager or support as a parent, I provide a safe, confidential space where we can make sense of what's happening and find a way forward together.
Hi, I’m Lisa Norfolk
A warm welcome!
I’m a BACP-accredited counsellor with 20 years’ experience. I work with young people (11+), adults and parents from two counselling rooms in Leeds, as well as online and by telephone. My role is not to fix you; it’s to offer a safe, respectful space where you can be heard, understand what’s going on and move forward at your pace.
I’ve worked in third-sector services with young people, adults and families for almost two decades, alongside private practice. I bring adaptability and strong boundaries, so the work fits you.
My counselling approach
I am a person-centred and trauma-informed counsellor. Sessions are led by your story, your pace and your aims. When helpful, I integrate other approaches such as brief, relational and solution-focused work, and I use creative therapy methods like art, objects or writing, especially when words are hard.
I believe you are the expert in your own life, although belief in self can be shaken by life events, trauma and negative experiences. I am here to cultivate, validate and empower, and to work collaboratively so you can find yourself again.
We agree goals together, review regularly, and choose short-term or longer-term work as needed. Inclusion matters here. I have additional training with the LGBTQI+ community and neurodiversity, and I have worked with multi-cultural clients across Leeds and Bradford.
Who I help
Counselling for Young People (11+)
A steady space to talk things through.
School or college stress, anxiety, friendship fallouts, identity, loss or trauma—whatever’s going on, we go at your pace. We can use talking or creative options (drawing, objects, writing) when words are hard. Confidential, boundaried, and focused on what helps you now.
Counselling for Adults and Parents
Clear support when life feels heavy or stuck.
Anxiety, grief, trauma, work stress or big life changes—we’ll make sense of it and map realistic next steps. I also support parents who want space for themselves, which in turn often improves their relationship with their child, always respecting a young person's privacy and autonomy.
