About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Hughes is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Lisa describes her practice as integrative, which means she draws on different methods to fit the person in front of her. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on daily concerns, thoughts and feelings, and on finding steps that feel manageable for the client.
She also pays attention to related issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, isolation or loneliness, narcissism, social anxiety and women’s issues. These topics are part of her work when clients bring them into sessions.
Outside the therapy room she works as a wellbeing officer and uses that experience to inform her counselling. She reviews messages regularly during working days and does not work at weekends to preserve family time. Messages sent over the weekend are usually answered on the next working day.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before arranging a booking.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Lisa works as an integrative counsellor, which means she combines several evidence-based techniques to suit different needs. One common approach she uses focuses on talking through current thoughts and feelings to reduce anxiety and stress. This helps people spot patterns and try small changes in day-to-day life.Another frequent element is working on relationships and self-esteem by looking at how someone thinks about themselves and others. This can include practical exercises to improve communication or to build more confidence in social situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needed during the course of counselling.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, not needing to travel, and easier scheduling during a busy week. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this flexibility while helping clients work on the issues that matter to them.
