About Lisa

Lisa Anderson offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, gender dysphoria, eating and family problems, and challenges around separation and infidelity. Lisa works from a compassionate, down-to-earth stance that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Lisa has five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She brings a long personal history of meditation, mindfulness and somatic exploration into sessions. That lived experience shapes how she attends to thoughts, feelings and bodily signals during conversations.

Her style is person-centred and collaborative. She listens without judgement and follows what each person brings to the room. Sessions often include gentle guidance to notice physical sensations, breathing and moment-to-moment feeling as part of understanding what is happening now.

Alongside Client-Centred Therapy, Lisa draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit individual needs. She describes the counselling relationship as a safe, respectful space where people can explore what matters most to them.

Taking a first step can feel hard, and Lisa aims to make the process straightforward and humane. She works with people to identify practical next steps and to build skills for coping, connecting and finding more balance in daily life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor provides a respectful, non-judgemental presence and follows the client’s pace so people can explore what matters most to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to choose actions that match their values in daily life. Attachment-Based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns and help people develop more secure ways of relating.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That means trying methods, checking in, and adjusting the focus as things change over time.

Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel time and being able to join from a quieter place. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they run sessions and help you choose an arrangement that fits daily life and needs.
