About Lisa

Lisa Fairclough is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has around ten years of professional experience and who works from a client-focused perspective. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Lisa emphasises practical steps alongside listening and support.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and problems with addiction.

Background and approach

She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, anger, low self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Her approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work and mindfulness. Lisa also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused techniques when they suit a person’s needs.

She adapts the way she works to what an individual finds most helpful. Sessions are conversational and practical. Lisa listens first, then helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions.

She encourages attention to values and what matters most when people feel stuck. People meet her for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short questionnaire is completed to match needs and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values, even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person feel understood, which creates space for change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person’s goals, preferences and current challenges and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting what is used as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, who want brief updates, or who need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
