Tomorrow we welcome Lisa Bayfield to our team.

We are so excited to have Lisa join us as a general psychologist. Lisa has a special interest in working with children and young people who experience anxiety (including school, social, and generalised anxiety), depression, and neurodiversity such as ASD and ADHD.

Lisa works primarily with primary school-aged children and teenagers, supporting them to build resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence. She also provides psychological assessments, including learning and behavioural assessments, to help families and schools better understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges.

Lisa's approach is calm, warm, and person-centred. She draws on evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strength-based approaches, tailoring each session to meet the individual needs and goals of her clients.

Welcome Lisa! We hope you love The Little Sanctuary as much as we do!
