Concerning Lisa Forgione, practitioner psychologist (Health and Care Professions Council PYL039401).
Decision date: 31 July 2026 · Hearing started 31 July 2026
In plain English
The HCPTS review panel found practitioner psychologist Lisa Forgione no longer impaired and allowed her suspension to lapse on 8 October 2026. The earlier case involved professional boundaries and dishonesty towards the regulator. The panel accepted her developed insight, detailed reflection and plan for returning safely to practice. It concluded that the suspension had sufficiently addressed the public-interest concerns.
Charges
The review followed a nine-month suspension for earlier misconduct involving professional boundaries with a former service user and a dishonest statement to the HCPC. The original panel had found only specified particulars proved and impairment on the public component alone.
Findings
The review panel found no continuing impairment on either component. It accepted developed insight, detailed reflection, remediation and a credible plan for safe return to practice. It concluded that the suspension had sufficiently marked the misconduct and maintained public confidence. The existing suspension was allowed to lapse on 8 October 2026, rather than being lifted immediately.
