Balanced Thoughts cheshire
Lisa Williams - Counsellor - Dip. Couns. MBACP
Hi, I’m Lisa — a counsellor ADHD coach, and EMDR therapist with over 20 years’ experience in various roles helping people find calm, clarity, and confidence.Life can sometimes feel messy, overwhelming, or just too much.
It’s okay not to have everything figured out. Whether you’re feeling:- stuck
- anxious
- low
- distracted
- or just not yourself...I’m here to walk alongside you.---How I workMy approach is gentle, flexible, and tailored to you. I draw from:- Person-centred therapy — where we follow your story with care
- CBT strands — to spot tricky thought patterns and find practical shifts
- Psychodynamic insight — exploring how the past shapes the present
- ADHD coaching — to support focus, organisation, and daily momentum
- EMDR therapy — helping the mind process experiences that may still feel upsetting, overwhelming or difficult to leave behind
I’ve worked with people with all kinds of minds and experiences — neurodivergent and neurotypical, chatty and quiet, overwhelmed or just foggy.
Wherever you’re at, I’ll meet you there.---Why “Balanced Thoughts”?At the heart of my work is the belief that your thoughts and feelings deserve space — not to be judged or rushed, but to be understood.And when that happens, something powerful can start to shift:
your thoughts feel more balanced, your emotions more manageable,
and your direction a little clearer.Balanced thoughts don’t mean perfect thoughts — just steadier ground to stand on.---This is a calm, safe space.
You don’t need the perfect words.
You don’t need to explain everything.
You just need to show up — exactly as you are.---Let’s begin, gently.

EMDRSometimes an experience may be over, but the feelings connected to it can still feel very present.EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing — is a structured form of therapy that can help you process difficult or distressing experiences, so they feel less overwhelming and have less impact on everyday life.During EMDR, we may use guided eye movements or alternating taps while gently working with the thoughts, feelings or memories that are troubling you.You remain awake, aware and in control throughout. We will take time to understand what you need, prepare carefully, and work at a pace that feels manageable.EMDR can be used as part of wider counselling where it feels appropriate. There is no pressure to use it, and we can decide together what approach feels most helpful.Ask about EMDR
