About me
Psychosomatic Restoration: For Minds and Bodies That Can't Settle
Talking is only half the story. If you are navigating the sheer intensity of urban living, you know that emotional distress doesn't just stay in your thoughts. It lives deep within your body—showing up as a racing heart, a "wired-but-tired" exhaustion, chronic tension, or that exhausting feeling of your nervous system being permanently always on.
I’m Lisa-Marie—a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist specializing in Psychosomatic Restoration. I provide a science-backed, relational approach that bridges the gap between clinical psychotherapy and somatic nervous system regulation.
Why Traditional Talk Therapy Often Misses the Mark
Many of my clients find that simply analyzing their thoughts isn't enough to achieve lasting recovery when their physical health, mood or sleep is paying the price. We won't just talk about your experiences; we will decode your nervous system and process how your history is held within your body.
My toolkit combines clinical rigor with somatic strategy across four key pillars:
-
Nervous System Regulation: Safely moving your physiology out of chronic survival modes (fight-or-flight) and back into a state of genuine calm and vitality.
-
Specialized Anxiety & Panic Care: Breaking the gripping cycles of sudden panic, health anxieties, and hyper-vigilant body-checking.
-
Restorative Sleep & Somatic Healing: Settling an overactive mind to naturally re-calibrate sleep rhythms and ease stress-induced physical symptoms.
-
Relational & Collective Depth: Navigating identity, relational trauma, and the complex psychological landscape of building an authentic life in a demanding city.
The Clinical Foundation
My practice is deeply grounded in advanced, modern Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and behavioral science, backed by a clinical foundation from King’s College London and University College London (UCL). Alongside my independent practice within a progressive therapy collective in the heart of Shoreditch, work as clinical advisor for health start-ups and I bring extensive clinical depth from my work within the NHS and as an Associate at the Aion Clinic London.
Sessions can be conducted in both English and German, supporting a diverse local and international community.
If you are ready to move past the noise, step out of survival mode, and build a structured pathway back to somatic safety, I invite you to reach out.

Approach
Effective therapy is about more than just managing a crisis—it is about rewriting the deeper patterns that shape your life, your relationships, and your physical well-being.
As a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist, my work is rooted in advanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). However, I believe true transformation requires addressing the whole person. While we use a structured, evidence-based framework, we also look beneath the surface at how your personal history and your nervous system interact.
Deep Therapeutic Focus and What to Expect I specialize in helping modern, urban individuals. Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and entirely bespoke. We move through three clear phases:
Formulation: Decoding the core beliefs, relational triggers, and somatic symptoms driving your distress.
Regulation: Implementing immediate, clinical tools to soothe your nervous system and restore physical calm.
Resolution and Prevention: Processing the root causes to build long-term psychological health
