Welcome and thank you for visiting Green Tulip Counselling. My name is Lisa Mackenzie, and I am a qualified counsellor offering face to face therapy sessions in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, as well as online therapy for those further afield.
There can be times in our life when our thoughts, feelings or behaviour may feel overwhelming or distressing. You may be struggling with difficult emotions about yourself, your relationships, or how you experience the world.
At Green Tulip Counselling I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment where we can explore what has brought you to counselling and how we can work together towards meaningful change. The green tulip symbolizes new beginnings and hope, which reflects the heart of my practice.
I am committed to providing a welcoming and affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds and identities and I am mindful how diversity and difference can have an impact on our lived experiences.
I am a fully trained and qualified counsellor and work within a humanistic framework, which means I believe in your innate capacity for growth, self-awareness, and positive change.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from three main therapeutic modalities:
Your unique experiences, needs and goals will guide our sessions, with the focus on building a trusting and empathic relationship.
Rather than giving advice or directing you, my role is to help you discover your own answers and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.
TA helps us explore how past experiences and relational patterns may influence your present life. By understanding these dynamics, we can explore which patterns may no longer serve you, and work toward healthier relationships and self-perception.
This helps us focus on the present moment, exploring your emotions here and now and understanding how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. This can encourage us to find new ways to respond to challenges.
As part of my training, I have experienced my own personal counselling, which has helped me to understand how powerful it can be to have a safe space where you are truly heard. This personal journey has shaped the way I work, ensuring that I offer my clients a supportive, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked within a range of industries, including hospitality, motorsport and education. These diverse experiences have enriched my understanding of people and their unique challenges.

If you would like to explore working together, I would be very happy to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch by phone or email to check availability.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone or Zoom consultation – an informal space to talk through what you are looking for and see if I might be the right fit for you.
Should you decide to move forward, our first session will be an opportunity to explore your needs in more depth, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of how we might work together.
