About Lisa
Counsellor and Registered BACP member, Lisa Guy has three years' experience working with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes. She offers practical, conversational sessions that help people make sense of difficult feelings and everyday setbacks. Lisa works in the United Kingdom and delivers counselling in English.
Lisa uses an integrative approach. She draws on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas and blends them to suit the person in the room. Sessions are calm and straightforward. She focuses on what you bring and helps you clarify what matters most to you.
Her background includes 19 years in IT and earlier roles in retail and market research. That work experience informs how she looks at workplace stress and communication problems. She also has experience volunteering at Norwood and Brixton Foodbank and providing mentoring support within IT.
Lisa is particularly interested in depression, anxiety, workplace issues, self-esteem and isolation. She helps people talk through family problems, forgiveness and improving self-love. Conversations aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer so practical next steps can follow.
She holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. Her stated goal is to work towards BACP accreditation. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Lisa works integratively, using person-centred practice and psychodynamic ideas as part of her approach. Person-centred work means conversations that focus on the client's own experience and what matters to them; it can help with self-esteem and feeling clearer about choices. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience and how they affect current relationships, which can help with repeated relationship or communication problems.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will review what you want to work on and discuss which ideas seem most useful. Together you agree how to try things and check what helps as you go along.
The profile does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to meet from different locations on the same day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer a mix of arrangements, and Lisa will explain the practical options when you begin.
