Lisa Knight
Lisa Knight, Bachelor of Arts (BA)
Graduate Intern Counsellor
Lisa is in her final year of the Master of Counselling program at City University. She is a student member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Upon completing her education, Lisa will pursue the Registered Clinical Counselling (RCC) designation with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC).
Lisa’s approach to counselling emphasizes establishing a therapeutic relationship founded on safety and connection. Adhering to a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, she incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions to explore a client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Lisa also practices from a trauma-informed and attachment-based framework. She has been a certified child life specialist at BC Children’s Hospital since 2003. Throughout her career, Lisa has supported individuals through receiving a diagnosis, medical treatment, and needle fears. Working with children and youth in an acute setting has also developed her ability to be creative, calm, and present for people enduring difficult situations.
With her unique professional background and personal experience of being a mother of 13-year-old fraternal twin boys, Lisa brings a compassionate and empathetic perspective to her counselling practice. She has experience with clients seeking support for anxiety, depression, medical trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, phobias, parenting, supporting aging parents, and stress.
Lisa provides counselling services in English.
Graduate Intern Counsellor, Lisa Knight is accepting new clients from British Columbia on Sundays and Thursdays. As a graduate intern counsellor, Lisa will be under the direct supervision of the Clinic Director, along with support from her accredited university.
