Lisa Skeffington, MNCP, SQHP, founder of Empowered Momentum and recognised as the “Self-Esteem Expert and Inner Child Whisperer,” is revolutionising therapy and coaching for women.
Lisa was recently named Women’s Psychotherapist of the Year 2024/25 in the South of England for her work in helping high-achieving women confront hidden struggles and embrace their true selves. Through her psycho-dynamic mentoring, she integrates techniques such as psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, CBT, and neuro-linguistic programming to achieve lasting results. Her unique approach has transformed the lives of over 50 clients.
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 began in diplomacy and investment banking at Goldman Sachs before she transitioned into psychotherapy. Her personal journey has inspired her to help others find healing and purpose. An accomplished author, Lisa has published three books, including a guide to help teens build self-esteem.
Lisa has invested significantly in developing Empowered Momentum into an academy for women, providing courses, retreats, and services that empower clients to achieve meaningful growth and resilience.
