Background and approach

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's experience and to listen without directing the story. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with stress, anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits such as substance use but feel unsure how to begin.

Trauma-Focused Therapy informs work with people processing past harm or abuse. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person's comfort. Lisa aims to make therapy useful each week, with clear options for coping between sessions.

She can help with relationship worries, grief, parenting strains, career stress and feeling overwhelmed. People who prefer calm, direct support tend to find her style helpful. She explains methods in everyday language and works with clients to set simple, practical goals.

Therapy is offered in English and is delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and uses careful listening to build understanding and direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then adapt methods accordingly. Decisions about techniques are made together, so people know why a certain exercise or focus is being suggested.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options give flexibility while maintaining regular contact with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
