About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, life changes and addiction. Her approach aims to make the first step feel easier for people who are unsure where to begin.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what is on their mind. Sessions focus on listening and understanding each person's experience. Lisa encourages practical steps that can be tried between meetings to build small changes over time.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when clients are interested in exploring that option. These different approaches are used to suit the needs and goals that each person brings to sessions.
Lisa has seven years of professional experience and holds NCPS. She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts her practice in English. The emphasis in her work is on collaboration - deciding together what matters most to the client and choosing methods that fit day-to-day life.
If someone is unsure what to expect, Lisa talks through the process at the first meeting. She aims to make sessions straightforward, with clear next steps and a focus on practical coping skills as well as understanding feelings.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where the person sets the pace and direction. It helps when someone needs to be heard and understood without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean using more CBT techniques some weeks, and a Client-Centred conversation-led approach at other times, depending on what is helpful.
