About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 14 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting concerns and relationship struggles. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.
Her work begins by making space for what matters to the client. She builds a trusting relationship where feelings and worries can be spoken about without judgment. That relationship is used as a base for understanding patterns, making sense of difficult events, and finding small steps that bring relief.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a blend of methods depending on the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice thoughts and try different responses.
Sessions are practical and paced to fit each person. Some people work on immediate coping skills, while others prefer to look at longer-term patterns and meaning. Therapy can include planning changes, practising new ways of thinking, or simply creating time to process loss and shock.
Taking the first step can feel hard and uncertain. Lisa encourages small, manageable moves and supports people through the early sessions. She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. Online sessions let clients talk through how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting, which can help with anxiety, attachment issues and parenting concerns.Client-centred therapy centres the person and their lived experience. In this approach the counsellor listens actively, reflects back what is heard and helps people feel understood. It suits those who need space to process grief, loss or difficult feelings without a heavy agenda.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records and short behavioural experiments that can be done between meetings to build coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a one-time decision. Lisa works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means adjusting focus over time and checking in about what is helping.
Online formats offer flexibility for different life situations. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and written reflections when shorter contact is preferable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
