Your First Step. 30 Minutes. Just Your Voice And Mine.

If you have left the Jehovah’s Witnesses 

— or are still inside and quietly falling apart — 

you may recognise some of this...


You wake up at 3am with guilt you cannot name. 

You self-sabotage at the moment things start going well. 

Your relationships follow patterns you cannot explain. 

You hold yourself back from the life you know you are capable of 

— because somewhere beneath the surface 

the old conditioning is still running.


You are carrying something specific. 

Something that mainstream therapy does not have the knowledge 

or the language to address properly.

This is where that changes.


Not with a sales call or lengthy intake form.

 Not with a therapist who needs everything explained.

With a single 30 minute conversation with someone who already knows.

What Happens In Your Taster Session

Your Taster Session Is A 30 Minute Zoom Audio Call — No Video, No Pressure, No Performance.

We will talk about where you are right now. 

What you are carrying. 

What has brought you to this point. 

I will share what I am seeing 

and what I believe is possible for you.


You will leave with a clear sense of 

whether continued work together is right for you. 

There is no obligation. No sales pressure. 

Just an honest conversation between two people who know 

what the inside of a Kingdom Hall feels like.


You will not spend a single minute explaining yourself. 

Because I already know. Not from a textbook. 

From the Margate congregation. 

From 26 years of sitting with people who carry exactly what you carry.

Who Is This For?

This Session Is For You If You Left The Jehovah's Witnesses Last Week Or Forty Years Ago And Something Still Follows You.

You have tried mainstream therapy and felt the 

loneliness of being half understood. 


You are PIMO and have nobody safe to talk to. 

You lost your family to shunning and the grief has no name.


But also —

You are capable of so much more than you are currently living. 

Your relationships keep hitting the same walls. 

Intimacy feels complicated in ways you cannot fully explain. 

You hold yourself back — underselling yourself, 

shrinking in rooms where you deserve to take up space, 

settling for less than you have earned.


You know there is a bigger life available to you.

 A better relationship. 

A life that reflects your actual ability.

 Freedom of mind that is not just surviving your JW past

 but genuinely, expansively thriving beyond it.


The conditioning the Watchtower installed does not just affect

 how you feel about the organisation.

 It affects every area of your life. Your ambition. Your relationships. 

Your sense of what you deserve.

That is what we address together. 


This session is for you if any of this sounds familiar.

Many Of My Clients Tell Me They Visited This Page For Months

The Watchtower conditioned you not to trust outsiders. Not to believe you were worth the investment. Not to ask for help.

Everything the Watchtower told you about your worth was wrong.

Whenever you are ready — I am here.

Why Lisa Magdalena? I Am The Original ExJW Therapist.

I Have 26 Years Of Clinical Expertise In ExJW Counseling & Former Jehovah's Witness. You Will Not Spend A Single Minute Explaining Yourself.

My father was at the centre of the UK's first ever legal battle 

to force a blood transfusion on a Jehovah's Witness against their will. 

He died at 28. I was two. 

I have spent 26 years making sure the people he left behind

 do not have to carry this alone.


Many ExJWs tell me that conventional therapy doesn't grasp the intensity 

of their JW experience. The nuances of shunning, 

the impact of high-control doctrines, 

and the specific forms of religious trauma 

require a therapist who not only understands 

these dynamics but has lived them. 


 I don't just treat symptoms;

 my ex-Jehovah's Witness counseling 

addresses the root causes of your pain. 

Watchtower Conditioned You To Wait & Put Your Needs Last.

Every week you wait is another week the guilt runs unchecked.

Another week the relationships stay stuck. 

Another week the career stays smaller than it should be. 

Another week the life you are capable of stays just out of reach.


Not because you are not ready. Because you have not yet had the right support.

That changes with one simple, low-pressure 30 minute conversation.

Every timezone. Every country. 

Completely confidential.
