Welcome - I'm

So Glad Our Conversation Brought You Here

Thank you for taking the time to listen, and for trusting your instinct to reach out. If something I shared resonated deeply - a moment where you thought, "She's describing exactly how I feel" - then you're absolutely in the right place.

You're the woman everyone relies on, the one who appears to have it all together.

But beneath that capable exterior, you're exhausted, stretched thin, and quietly questioning whether you're truly good enough - at work, at home, or anywhere.

You've been looking for someone who truly gets it. Someone who sees past the mask.

You've found her. Welcome.

You've been looking for someone who truly gets it. Someone who sees past the mask.

You've found her. Welcome.

If What You Heard Felt Like Your Story...

Perhaps it was when I talked about the exhaustion of maintaining the mask - appearing calm and capable while privately battling doubt and anxiety.

Maybe it was the invisibility - feeling overlooked, unheard, dismissed despite your accomplishments and expertise.

Or perhaps it was recognizing those hidden wounds you've been carrying, the ones you've tried to ignore but that are affecting everything - your confidence, your relationships, your peace of mind.

Whatever it was that made you pause and think, "I need to know more" - I'm honored you're here.

You're accomplished. Respected. The person others turn to when things need to get done.

But privately?

Perhaps you feel...

You're exhausted from maintaining the appearance of having it all under control

You're exhausted from maintaining the appearance of having it all under control

You're not being heard - not by colleagues, not by family, sometimes not even by yourself

Are your relationships feeling strained under the weight of unspoken needs and unmet expectations?

Are you carrying hidden wounds from the past that you've tried to ignore, but they're affecting everything?

Are you battling high-functioning anxiety - appearing calm while your mind races with self-doubt?

And here's what makes it harder: You haven't found anyone who truly understands what it's like to be you - successful on paper, struggling in private, and unsure where to turn for support that actually fits.

Most therapy feels too slow. Most coaching feels too surface-level. Most people just don't get it.

You need something different. Something that addresses the root, not just the symptoms.

That's exactly what I offer. And sincerely, I’m glad you’ve found me.

Why My Approach Is Different

For over 25 years, I've worked with high-performing women in leadership, business, and the public eye who are exactly where you are now.

Women who have tried everything - therapy, books, willpower - only to find themselves stuck in the same patterns.

What makes my work different is psychodynamic mentoring - a unique integration of:

Highly effective psychodynamic work (addressing the buried wounds and unconscious patterns driving your anxiety and self-doubt)

Strategic mentoring (practical, actionable guidance for immediate shifts in how you show up and communicate)

Advanced therapeutic techniques (including NLP hypnotherapy and hypnohealing, and EMDR for rapid, lasting transformation)

This isn't talk therapy that takes years. This isn't surface-level coaching that ignores what's really going on. This is comprehensive transformation that honors both the depth of your struggle and your need for real results.

And for women seeking profound transformation in a way that collapses time:

I welcome you under my wing and into the safety of my intimate Coastal Escapes on the UK Dorset coast - discreet, discerning experiences where you can step completely away from the demands of your life and do the deep work in privacy and comfort. These aren't retreats. They are highly immersive and transformational experiences designed specifically for women who value confidentiality, excellence, and genuine change.

A Little More About Me

I'm Lisa Skeffington, MNCP, SQHP - a multi-award-winning psychotherapist, executive coach, and self-esteem expert named UK Psychotherapist of the Year (2024–2026).

But more importantly than any accolade:

I know what it's like to carry hidden wounds while maintaining a successful exterior. My own journey through trauma and transformation informs every aspect of my work. I understand the exhaustion, the invisibility, the relationships strained by what you can't quite name. And I know that for women like you, conventional support often misses the mark entirely.

With a background in diplomatic work and corporate investment banking, for over 25 years now I’ve grown to pioneer psychodynamic mentoring - a distinctive approach that combines deep psychological healing with strategic mentoring and advanced therapeutic techniques. I work exclusively with high-performing women in leadership, business, and the public sphere who are ready to move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and buried trauma into genuine confidence and inner peace.

Through private mentoring and my signature Coastal Escapes, I create a rare space where accomplished women can finally remove the mask, address the wounds they've been carrying, and reclaim their voice, their power, and their peace - all in complete confidence.

My clients span the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond. They include executives, entrepreneurs, public figures, and leaders who need more than surface solutions - they need transformation at the deepest level.

If our conversation on the podcast resonated with you, I'd be honored to continue it here.

You've Been Searching

for Someone who truly understands

And I believe that's why you're here now.

You don't need another person telling you to "just be confident" or "set better boundaries." You need someone who recognizes that your struggle is real, valid, and rooted in things that go deeper than a few tips can fix.

You need someone who sees the hidden wounds, the buried pain, the exhaustion behind the mask.

You've found that here. You've found me.

You don't have to know exactly what you need right now. You don't have to have your questions perfectly articulated. You just have to be willing to take one small step toward feeling truly seen, heard, and understood.

You don't have to carry this alone anymore. I'm here, and I understand.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for being here. And thank you for having the courage to take this next step.

Complete Discretion. Genuine Understanding. Transformational Results.

Whether you begin with the assessment, explore the books, or schedule a confidential conversation, know this:

You are safe here. You are seen here. And you are finally in a place where someone truly gets it.

I'm so glad our paths crossed through that podcast. Now let's continue the journey together.

Welcome. You're exactly where you need to be.
