Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that feel manageable. The aim is to build coping skills and to reduce the overwhelm that makes everyday life harder. Lisa holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours, first class, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She brings three years of professional experience to her practice and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person’s needs. In sessions she listens for strengths and patterns that can be changed. She offers practical tools for sleeplessness, anger, low self-esteem and stress.
She also supports people through bereavement, career transitions and compassion fatigue. Work is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage. Appointments can be arranged online via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients may be seen in English and sessions are scheduled around client and therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to frame sessions in practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and replacing them with small, manageable alternatives; this can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on processing experiences of trauma and abuse through paced discussion and grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s goals and pace. Clients take an active role in shaping sessions and in choosing which techniques feel most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video is often used for fuller conversational work, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
