About Lisa
Lisa Hughes is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She supports people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also works with issues such as body image, loneliness and social anxiety.
Lisa holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Her sessions aim to be open and non-judgemental. She creates space for people to say what they feel and think.
Background and approach
Lisa encourages small steps that can lead to clearer thinking and steadier mood. Lisa describes herself as an integrative counsellor. That means she draws on more than one therapeutic way of working, and chooses what fits each person.
She also has experience as a wellbeing officer, so she blends practical support with talking therapy. She plans sessions around what each person needs. Some people focus on coping strategies for anxiety and stress.
Others work on unpicking painful experiences and building self-worth. Lisa adapts tools and techniques to suit the individual rather than applying one fixed method. Messages are checked regularly and she aims to reply in a timely way.
She does not work at weekends because she keeps that time for family. If contacted over the weekend she aims to respond on the following Monday.
How Lisa adapts therapeutic techniques for online work
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and applies them in a way that fits each person. One common strand is practical skills for anxiety and stress such as breathing, grounding and behavioural steps to reduce avoidance. These techniques aim to help people calm their bodies and test out small changes in daily routines.Another area she draws on is trauma-informed talking work to gently process difficult memories and their impact. This involves pacing the conversation, building emotional safety, and working at a speed that feels manageable for the person. These approaches are useful for reducing the weight of past events and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She checks in about what works and adapts over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and work closely with the counsellor. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing instead of talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
