About Lisa
Lisa Ali is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses warmth and empathy to help people feel seen and heard. Lisa has a BA Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling and six years of practice supporting people through emotional challenges.
She focuses on practical change rather than labels. Sessions are paced to each person's needs, with space to talk through anxiety, low mood, trauma, addiction, or parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Lisa also supports people dealing with identity, neurodivergence, bereavement and relationship difficulties. Her sessions aim to build clarity and coping skills. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.
Emotional regulation tools, confidence work and self-understanding are common session themes. Lisa draws on Client-Centred, Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused ideas when appropriate. That means listening first, then collaborating on short-term goals and offering trauma-aware ways to work through difficult memories.
She adapts methods to each person rather than following a fixed script. People often come when life feels overwhelming or when they need clearer direction. Lisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Her style is straightforward, patient and non-judgemental, aiming to help people make steady progress at their own pace.

How Lisa’s approaches work in online counselling
Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel understood and supports work on self-esteem, identity and parenting concerns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals. That approach is useful for people who want quick strategies to manage stress, improve communication or change a specific habit.
Trauma-Focused Therapy informs how she responds to difficult memories and strong emotions. It brings careful pacing and techniques to reduce overwhelm while processing traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will talk through options with each person and decide together what methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The work is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
