Lisa Skeffington, MNCP, SQHP, founder of Empowered Momentum and known as the “Self-Esteem Expert and Inner Child Whisperer,” is pioneering a transformation in therapy and coaching.
Recently named Women’s Psychotherapist of the Year 2024/25 in the South of England, Lisa specialises in helping high-achieving women shed emotional masks and reconnect with their authentic selves. Her psycho-dynamic mentoring combines techniques such as integrative psychotherapy, advanced hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, and neuro-linguistic programming, creating profound and lasting results for her clients.
Speaking from her Dorset-based practice, Lisa shared: “I’m here to take women safely under my wing with the actual proper help they’ve been seeking but not finding until now. For too long, high-powered women have felt the need to hide their true selves behind a façade of perfection and achievement.
“They’re celebrated for their success but often suffer in silence, feeling disconnected, anxious, unheard and emotionally downtrodden. I’ve been there – I understand what it feels like to look like you have it all together on the outside whilst battling internal struggles no one sees. That’s why I’m passionate about helping these women step into the truth of who they are. When they embrace vulnerability and shed the mask, they unlock a power and freedom within themselves they doubted was possible. My mission is to guide them to a place where they can lead authentically, inspire others, and live freely.”
Lisa’s career journey has been deeply personal, beginning in diplomacy and investment banking at Goldman Sachs before transitioning into psychotherapy. Her expertise has helped over 50 clients, including industry leaders, to heal from emotional wounds and reclaim their self-esteem. Lisa’s work as an author includes three books, including a guide for teens to improve self-esteem and navigate challenges.
With significant investment in expanding Empowered Momentum, Lisa is developing an academy for women, offering retreats and courses that help clients achieve personal growth and resilience.
