About Lisa

Lisa Powell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Lisa also supports those facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of other challenges such as ADHD and eating issues.

She places practical, person-focused work at the centre of sessions. Lisa aims to build trust and openness so people can say difficult things without feeling judged.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Lisa uses a blend of approaches to suit different struggles. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

She also uses client-centred ways of working to follow the person’s priorities and CBT techniques when people want tools to manage thoughts and behaviours. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She can offer short-term, solution-focused work or a longer reflective process depending on what someone wants.

Lisa helps people identify clear steps forward and notices patterns that get in the way of change. Practical matters are discussed openly within sessions. Lisa asks questions, offers exercises and helps people try new ways of coping between meetings.

Taking that first step into therapy is recognised as difficult, and she aims to make the process as manageable as possible.

Ways of working Lisa names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Lisa often uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when repeated relationship difficulties, abandonment worries or trust issues are getting in the way of daily life.

She also works in a client-centred way, following the person's priorities and pace. That approach focuses on listening, reflection and building a trusting therapeutic relationship that lets people speak openly and make their own choices.

When people want practical tools to manage thoughts and moods, she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques. CBT offers exercises and short strategies to address unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options, check what feels most useful and adapt the work as goals change. Finding the right mix is part of the process and can shift over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls suit fuller conversations, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for different rhythms, quieter timings and varied ways of keeping contact with a therapist.
