About Lisa
Lisa Anderson helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing life changes. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and intimacy challenges, low self-esteem, anger, and coping with loss. Lisa is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
Her style is warm and person-centred. She aims to build a kind, honest, and respectful counselling relationship. In sessions she listens closely and follows what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Lisa uses mindfulness and body-aware ways of working alongside talking. She will often invite clients to notice physical sensations, thoughts and feelings as part of the work. That approach is aimed at helping people reconnect with their own capacity to settle and integrate difficult experiences.
She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to explore how past relationships affect present patterns. That can help with abandonment fears, attachment struggles, codependency and intimacy issues. Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She offers straightforward support and gentle guidance while respecting each person’s pace. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make that first step easier by being present and practical. Over five years of professional practice shape her practical understanding of common struggles.
Her background in mindfulness and somatic exploration informs how she blends talking, sensing and reflection in sessions.
Practical online approaches that combine body noticing and values
Lisa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help people who feel stuck by offering simple exercises to clarify what matters and to act despite difficult emotions.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps people understand patterns of closeness and avoidance and supports changes in how they relate to others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist work together to choose practical steps and check what is working as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
