About Lisa
Lisa Ali is a counsellor who focuses on building warm, respectful spaces for people to talk. She works in a person-centred way and aims to help people feel heard when life feels overwhelming. Lisa holds NCPS and brings six years of counselling experience to her work.
Her approach starts with listening and following each person's pace. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual. Lisa uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused ideas to help people make small, practical changes that feel manageable.
Background and approach
She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, eating and sleeping issues, and career or life changes. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, autism, attachment difficulties, body image and chronic illness.
In sessions, Lisa offers straightforward tools alongside reflective conversation. That can mean problem-solving steps, emotional regulation skills, or learning new ways to set boundaries. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect daily life.
Clients can expect a non-judgemental attitude and steady support while working toward clearer goals. Lisa aims to help people feel more confident in their choices and better able to cope with daily stresses and difficult feelings.
How Lisa's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. It helps people who need space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings at their own pace. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term, practical steps and building on what already works; it suits people who want clear goals and small changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current life and uses methods to reduce distress related to traumatic memories and triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as therapy progresses to find what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when you prefer not to use video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical support and emotional recovery.
