Background and approach

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build forward momentum. Sessions are tailored to each person. Lisa listens for the hopes and concerns behind the words, then works with the client to set practical, achievable steps.

This can be helpful for problems such as stress, sleep or eating difficulties, anxiety, depression, or coping after trauma and loss. Lisa has experience supporting people with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career worries and self-esteem difficulties.

She also addresses more specialised matters that clients bring, including chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and sexual identity topics within kink culture. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lisa aims to make that step clearer. She will work with each person to shape the sessions around their needs and preferences, helping them find small changes that matter.

How Lisa’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. In practice this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s lead on what to focus on. This approach helps with anxiety, grief and relationship worries where feeling understood matters most.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical, conversational style that helps people clarify why they want change and build momentum. It is useful when someone feels stuck about issues like sleep, eating habits, career moves or coping with long-term illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Lisa treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss preferences, try different ways of working and agree on goals together. This helps make sessions feel relevant and constructive for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer written check-ins or more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to arrange regular work and keep momentum between meetings.
