About Lisa
Lisa Fairclough is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience, holding BACP registration. She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Lisa is direct and warm, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone under pressure.
Her sessions focus on practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing grief, trauma and issues linked to addiction.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns are part of the work she offers, alongside relationship and intimacy-related problems. Lisa draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person.
Mindfulness techniques are included to build steadiness when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants change but feels unsure how to begin. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively for people working through past harm or abuse.
Lisa matches these approaches to each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Expect a mix of practical strategies, reflective listening and gentle challenge.
The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood and more workable choices in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match what matters to them; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and following the client’s own priorities, which helps build trust and clarity in sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady mood when stress or strong emotions arise.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working together. Decisions are collaborative and shaped by the client’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed treatment plan.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a fuller, face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep momentum while juggling family and daily life.
