About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion while focusing on practical steps forward.
Her approach begins by listening. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. That means checking what matters most to you, and agreeing small goals to work on between sessions.
Background and approach
Lisa uses client-centred therapy, which places the person's experience at the heart of the work. Sessions aim to help people feel heard, clarify what they want to change, and build confidence to try new ways of coping. Over two decades she has supported people with a wide range of concerns.
These include addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleeping and eating problems, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also has additional focus on areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Lisa provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred care works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than on techniques. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects back what she hears, and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach can be useful for concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship struggles because it builds understanding and self-direction.In sessions the counsellor will invite you to set priorities and decide what to work on. Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with you and adapt the way you meet so it fits your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and body language. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and what matters to you.
