BOURNEMOUTH, UK. January 10th, 2025 - Lisa Skeffington, MNCP, SQHP, Founder of Empowered Momentum Ltd and a “Self-Esteem Expert and Inner Child Whisperer,” has transformed her personal experiences of trauma and abuse into a positive mission to provide in-demand support for high-achieving, industry-leading women.
Recently named Women’s Psychotherapist of the Year 2024/25 and recognised in Woman & Home’s ‘50 Amazing Women over 50’ Awards, Lisa is launching the Empowered Momentum Community to provide ‘actual proper help’ for women battling Imposter Syndrome and burnout caused by emotional wounds, layers of abuse and the heavy toll of living behind a mask of success.
Recently named Women’s Psychotherapist of the Year 2024/25 and recognised in Woman & Home’s ‘50 Amazing Women over 50’ Awards, Lisa is launching the Empowered Momentum Community to provide ‘actual proper help’ for women battling Imposter Syndrome and burnout caused by emotional wounds, layers of abuse and the heavy toll of living behind a mask of success.
Growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, she endured years of her father’s abusive attempts to break her spirit; to convince her that she was worthless and unlovable. Escaping with support at 18, she externally rebuilt and portrayed a seemingly confident life but behind her own mask carried the scars of her upbringing, feeling like a fraud and fearful of being exposed. For years, Lisa pushed through, ignoring her pain until she reached a breaking point. Her recovery taught her the transformative power of self-belief and self-compassion.
This deeply personal journey of overcoming trauma has fuelled Lisa’s mission over her 27-year career to support thousands of wounded women internationally to remove the mask, using her own unique blend of psychodynamic psychotherapy and advanced hypnotherapy alongside bespoke mentoring for life-skills and communication mastery – an approach which Lisa describes as psychodynamic mentoring.
Lisa said: “I’m here to support women to live empowered and unmasked, welcoming them safely under my wing with the actual proper help they’ve been seeking but not finding until now – disillusioned and feeling hopeless, after experiencing talking therapies that have too often felt superficial.
“For too long, high-powered women have felt the need to hide their true selves behind a mask of perfection and achievement. They’re celebrated for their success but often suffer in silence, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unheard, and emotionally downtrodden. I’ve been there! Just trying to keep that train on the tracks, one day at a time. I understand what it feels like to look like you’re smashing it on the outside whilst battling internal struggles of not feeling good enough - that no one sees. That’s why I’m passionate about empowering these women to step into the truth of who they are. When they embrace their self-worth and remove the mask, they unlock a power and freedom within themselves they doubted was ever possible.”
