  Welcome to Lisa Tanner - Perinatal Counsellor
About Lisa Tanner

Initially I will offer a free and no obligation consultation so that we can meet and discuss your current situation. From this we can then decide if you would like to see me on a regular basis and I will tell you honestly if I think I am able to help. If I am not, I will help you to find the appropriate support from another health care professional.

I offer a confidential and sympathetic service in a room set aside in my home. Sessions last 50 minutes - a usual course of therapy is around 6-8 weeks but this is open to evaluation.

In the case of post traumatic stress following childbirth, I can help with obtaining medical notes and support parents with reading through them. I can accompany parents to maternity units to discuss the birth (debrief) with the health care professionals involved and I will also assist with birth plan writing for subsequent births.

I am currently studying EMDR (Eye movement desensitization reprocessing) which is a form of therapy recommended by The National Institute of Clinical Excellence for the treatment of PTSD.
