Lisa Haydon Therapy - Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy, Derbyshire

GROUNDED, NOT PERFECT

I work with reflective, deeply credible people whose outward competence can sometimes conceal a deep sense of inner disconnection.

What I have learned from 15 years in the mental health field and 25 years in corporate and charity leadership is that people are more wounded than they realise, and more capable than they know. Often caught in inherited beliefs, unconscious patterns, and old roles that no longer serve them.

Modern life is complex. The mental health conversation has exploded, and many of us are left wondering: Who can I turn to? Who can I trust? What do I need to know?

Psychotherapy might not be an obvious first step, but you’re questioning yourself more than usual, you’re ready to go deeper and really get to the root of what’s going on for you right now.

You’re seeking guidance, without being told what to do, a different level of exploration that feels steady and containing but expansive and honest.

Hi, I’m Lisa…

YOU ARE SENSING “i’m not okaY”, but can’t quite explain whY.

You are not seeking to become someone else entirely, more to remember who you already are. Ready to explore your defences, an underlying expectation to adapt and fit in with people and places you no longer resonate with.

You are highly capable, but find yourself stuck in old patterns.
Might have done ‘inner work’, but still feel fragmented or disconnected.
Want to go deeper, but not get lost in the past.
Seek a clearer sense of self and a desire to build on your future emerging self.
You are tired of perfectionism and want to live a more rooted, regulated, real life.
Look capable on the outside but maybe quietly long for a more together sense of self on the inside.

My approach is not therapy as you might know it.

It’s a grounded, co-created, psychologically rich process designed to meet the wise adult in the room. To help you understand and navigate the parts of yourself that are still responding from the past and are seeking to understand more deeply..

It’s self-aware and intentional. It’s not about over-identifying with or unnecessarily excavating past wounds but it is about acknowledging them and understanding how they show up for you today.

No quick fixes. No polished advice. Just real conversation and exploration, with someone who gets it.

Grounded, not perfect.
