Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to explore feelings and patterns. Lisa uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness skills. She also draws on body‑focused somatic work and trauma‑focused ways of working when these fit a person’s needs.

This mix lets her adapt to different concerns and learning styles. She describes herself as neurodiversity-aware and as an LGBTQIA+ ally, and she offers support around identity, sexuality and intimacy. Lisa can also help with issues such as parenting strain, burnout, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and living with chronic health conditions.

Lisa holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She works online from the United Kingdom and accepts people who live outside the UK. New people start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session at a time that suits them.

How Lisa works online and the approaches she uses

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and identity issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or self‑esteem.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Short exercises and breathing practices are used to reduce stress and increase focus, which many people find useful alongside talking work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore your goals, needs and preferences and suggest a combination of methods. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as you go so the work fits your life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can suit shorter check‑ins or low bandwidth, and chat or messaging lets people work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or medical appointments and to keep continuity when life changes.
