About Dr. Lisa Cant
Clinical Psychologist
I know that engaging in therapy can be life-changing as I have experienced the benefits of it myself.
Having worked in both physical and mental healthcare throughout my career I am passionate about taking a holistic approach to well-being, integrating all parts of you, with an aim to helping develop your self compassion and helping you to reach your goals, whatever they may be. I am also happy to consider your wider context, including culture, religion or spirituality -whatever is meaningful for you - to gain a deeper understanding of how we can help you reach your full potential.
My ultimate aim is to support you in making positive changes in your life, whatever that may look like for you, helping you grow in meaningful directions. Whether you are looking to change eating behaviour, work on a phobia or fear, or develop a deeper understanding of all parts of you, I can offer a meaningful exploration and clear treatment plan to suit.
