About Lisa

Lisa Rowley is a counsellor with six years' experience. She has worked in private practice and in schools supporting young people affected by domestic abuse. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful or worrying things in a calm, respectful way.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people struggling with sleep, anger, addiction and the fallout from relationship problems. Many people come for help with life changes, career strain and feelings of isolation.

Her sessions start with listening. She creates a non-judgemental space and helps people name what is troubling them. Together they look at the causes of difficulty and agree simple steps to try between meetings.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches, including Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and EMDR when appropriate. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ways of working to suit each person’s needs.

She works with issues like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and mood disorders. Her practice includes support around forgiveness, guilt, impulsivity and making sense of midlife and financial pressures.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Lisa describes herself as warm and compassionate, aiming to help people take the first steps towards clearer thinking and more manageable days.

How Lisa’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them find their own solutions and greater self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, focuses on practical steps. It looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings and teaches small exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories and intense emotional responses by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce distress associated with those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor the methods to the person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study and family life and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when they need a quick update, while others like longer conversations that feel more like in-person sessions. Because specific session formats were not detailed in the biography, check the available options before booking to ensure they match your routine and needs.
