Hello, my name is Lisa Holben, and I am the founder of InnerMinds Counselling. With extensive experience in working and volunteering for various charities, as well as in Further and Higher Education, I have developed a strong passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges. Following this journey, I trained as a counsellor and now offer my services to both adults and young people (14+).
I specialise in perinatal mental health, having previously trained and worked with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT). My focus is on supporting parents and parents-to-be who may have experienced perinatal depression, birth trauma, or bereavement, as well as those navigating the complex realities of family life. I also have significant experience working with young people, a generation that faces a mental health crisis, where the pressures of modern life are ever-increasing. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where young people can process their emotions and develop the tools they need to face an increasingly challenging world.
Perinatal Counselling
The transition to parenthood can be overwhelming, and for many, the perinatal period is marked by significant emotional challenges. I specialise in supporting parents who have experienced perinatal depression, birth trauma, or loss. Counselling during this period can offer much-needed support, help process grief or trauma, and guide parents as they adjust to the demands of family life. I work with both mothers and fathers to ensure that their mental health is supported at every stage of their journey.
Counselling for Young People (14+)
Young people today face unique pressures, from academic challenges to the influence of social media, often leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where young people can express their feelings and gain the tools needed to understand and manage their emotions. My work with young people is deeply fulfilling, as I aim to empower them with the skills to navigate the complexities of growing up in today’s fast-paced world.
Support for Parents and Families
Parenting can be a rewarding yet challenging experience, and at times, families may need support to navigate the ups and downs of family life. I offer counselling for parents and families who are experiencing stress, relationship difficulties, or who simply need guidance on improving communication and family dynamics. My approach aims to enhance well-being and create stronger, more supportive family relationships.
At InnerMinds Counselling, I offer a welcoming and compassionate space where clients can feel heard and supported. Whether you are dealing with the pressures of parenting, navigating the complexities of adolescence, or seeking to improve your mental health, I am here to help.
I work with clients on both a short-term and long-term basis, depending on the needs of the individual. My services are available in Chichester and the surrounding areas, offering face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling options to suit your preference.
It is a privilege to support my clients through their journeys, helping them to build resilience, gain self-awareness, and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges. If you are ready to begin your path to healing, contact InnerMinds Counselling today.
