Lisa Skeffington, MNCP, SQHP, founder of Empowered Momentum, is driving a transformation in therapy and coaching. Known as the “Self-Esteem Expert and Inner Child Whisperer,” Lisa has been named Women’s Psychotherapist of the Year 2024/25 for the South of England.
Lisa specialises in helping high-powered women break free from the emotional façades of perfection and achievement. Her psycho-dynamic mentoring combines integrative psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, and neuro-linguistic programming, earning her recognition nationally and changing the lives of more than 50 clients.
Speaking from her Dorset 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 began in diplomacy and investment banking before she transitioned to psychotherapy, motivated by her own experiences. Since founding Empowered Momentum, Lisa has written three books, including a journaling guide for teens, and helped clients heal from deep emotional wounds.
Her clients, including industry leaders, praise her for helping them rediscover their sense of self and overcome layers of pain, often stemming from abuse. Lisa has invested extensively in expanding Empowered Momentum into an academy for wounded women globally.
