About Lisa

Sessions are practical and conversational. Lisa helps people talk through difficult feelings and identify small steps they can try between sessions. She pays attention to family and parenting concerns, grief, self-esteem, career strain and problems such as addiction and ADHD-related difficulties.
Her background includes a decade of work with adults facing life changes, separation and relationship conflict. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, control and communication problems.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel heard and make sense of their concerns. It is useful for emotional issues and relationship difficulties.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate goals and small steps. It suits people who want short-term work to tackle specific problems or make changes quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with the client and agree which methods to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or at times that suit work and family commitments. It can also let someone choose whether to use video or other supported methods depending on what feels most practical.
